form action quetion

[eddiembabaali]

Is it possible to have a web form with two different action scripts? I use a standard script for handling mail but I would like a visitor redirected to another page if he has entered some variables which will be checked by the other page ..

SOme thing like

Visitor enters site ---- fills in survey form and requests to view newsletter ...

send survey form to my usual form handling script ...

Form handling script has option for redirect page ....

redirect visitor to online version of newsletter IF .. he supplied an email address and name ...

Your newsletter subscription script probably already checks whether or not the user submitted valid information (name and email). So that would eliminate the need for the IF statement, because you already know that the user entered their email address.

Then you can just redirect the user to your desired page by using a simple meta-refresh.

You could also edit the script (I'm assuming its PHP) to do exactly what you want. If it's just a standard form-to-mail script it shouldn't be to hard to hack it up.

Thanks for the tip .. I think I have the code working and was just confusing myself. I left the form action to the default form handling script and just passed on a variable to the redirect page in the URL ... It seems to be working well ....


thanks again for your ideas..
