PHP-code on POST?

[materix]

On my site is a registration form where users can signup. But the thing is that the <form> POSTs to another site where the details then are stored.

I would like to log in a table when users click on the "submit"-button. Is there any way to do this? Where do I place the PHP-code?

(I think the problem lies in the fact that the form POSTs to another site.........I can not figure this out )

Why do you have YOUR form posting to ANOTHER site?

[babyboy808]

make the form point to a new script on you server... and create the script...

Thx for your replies.

I need to post to another site, because that company will then give the user the option to make an online-payment. My site does not have this option.

If I make the form point to a new script on my server, can I then afterwards the variables are stored in my database, program a POST to the other site?

Can you send them to the other address by redirecting to a URL with the variables in the query string? This is how you'd do it with PayPal, the same type of setup you're talking about.

POST to your own forum, record the information you want to record, construct the payment URL and use header() to do an immediate redirect there.

Thx Dan.

This solution was also what I was thinking about. But the other site requires that I POST the variables, because GET is considered to be unsafe.

Then you could possibly use cURL to construct and carry out the post to the remote site. The cURL libraries are very handy for that kind of thing

The 3rd party processor probably doesn't want, and may prohibit through terms/contract, having his server posting as a user to the payment form. It poses some fraud detection problems for them, not having the real user making the POSTs from his own IP to start payment on their site.
