Multiple Sumbitting actions

[sammy182]

When someone submits a form to have to submit to more then one place? For example, send the info to a database and also send it somehwere else. Is this possible?

Technically no, but you could set the target of the form to _blank, and run a javascript function that submits the form to the default action, modifies the action to the second page and changes the target to either a new window or _self, and then re-submits the form.

Another option is to have an intermediary script that inputs data to the database and then forwards the data to another page.

I'm going to put this in the Client Side Scripting forum. You will probably get a better response there.

if u use asp, and the other file would nbe on the same server, it would be possible using the response.execute() command, and if it was on another server, it could be done using the M$ XMLHTTP component, jus ask if you need more details

[sammy182]

umm...I use php, but the I want to send one action away from the server.
