[PHP] A quick question - Help Please !
Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I am trying to do two seperate things on one submission, it would be easy if I was submitting to my own page, but I am submitting to a payment processor company, and so several things will occur off-site, and there is nothing that comes back from the payment processor when then payment is made so I can't handle it on the return. And so what I am doing now is when you land on the page to confirm that you want to place the order an email is created and sent to the owner, I would like that to only get sent when the submit button is clicked .. and yes I have tried onSubmit with it calling my php function. Any thoughts? thanks, dan __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [PHP] A quick question - Help Please !
That's REALLY strange that the payment site doesn't return anything... So the user just hits a dead-end or what? Can we see a test site? And the fact that it all needs to be secure makes it a little more challenging. Essentially, what you need is for one form to POST to two separate scripts... one local, and one on another server. My thoughts are that you'd need to POST to a local script which produces the email AND THEN submits info to the merchant. But the fact that this probably needs to be done: a) with POST b) with SSL Will prolly make it very tricky. Search the archives for emulating POST or faking POST, because I know it's been discussed before. Yes, you probably CAN do it with javascript, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable relying on it AT ALL -- if it doesn't exist, then your site breaks -- either the email or the merchant stuff will break if you rely on JS.

Re: [PHP] A quick question - Help Please !
to do it with javascript u could post the form to another local page with a form with hidden fields - send the mail and use onload= to post the second form. would be a messy way to do it but would work. adrian murphy - Original Message - From: Justin French [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dan McCullough [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PHP General List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] A quick question - Help Please !

RE: [PHP] A quick question - Help Please !
When you submit, does the form call a php self function or are you calling a file on the remote server? If you are doing either, why not just call another php file on you local server to where you can FIRST send your email and THEN send your info to the remote server? What options do you have for sending the information to the remote server?

RE: [PHP] A quick question - Help Please !
I have to send a form with a whole bunch of hidden fields and form fields to the remote server. I have tried sending via CURL, until I remembered that they still have to input the cc information, so that was out, and then I tried doing PHP_SELF and then if the $submit then send email and do a header(Location : redirect to the payment process with name value pairs); for some reason it either didnt like the name value or it couldnt see that the form was being submitted from order.php. --- Trout, Travis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When you submit, does the form call a php self function or are you calling a file on the remote server?
