[?] Form with two actions?

[justinede]

Hey guys,

I was making a script for my friend and he needed a way to do things with one form.

I knew we could do this in the php but it turns out he needs it to submit to a pearl script then, submit to my homemade script which takes information filled out into the form and fills it into a form on the next page.

I had my homemade script working fine. I just need a way to get that pearl script submitted along with my homemade one.

 

So, is there any way to get to actions with one form? I have seen the javascript version but it dosnt work.

Is there a way in PHP to execute a pearl script before my action takes place?

 

Im not sure if this all makes sense but if it dosnt please let me know.

can you change the perl script you could tell it to go to your script when it finishes or have it submit to your php script then you something like cURL to call the perl script at the top of your script then when that finishes run your script but all this slows down processing of the request

You could try posting it to the perl script with curl

sorry, didn't see your post ratcateme.

i dont mind about the time, but i dont know jack shi* about pearl.

 

In the php, once the user hits submit its supposed to go to a page with a "email=$email" in it so the email field is auto filled out with what you put into that field on page 1. The pearl just adds them to a mailing list.

you could easily call the perl page with cURL look at the link Third_Degree posted

i dont get any of that.

can you make me the script?

or tell me ehat i need to edit to make it work?

[ratcateme]

look at the link then have a script like this

<?php
//curl from the link to call the perl script
//your php script
?>

 

Scott.

[justinede]

ok but what do i need from that link you posted?

All of it?

 

this.

<?php

$ch = curl_init( );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com" );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
$response = curl_exec( $ch );
print $response;

?>

 

or this.

<?php

$ch = curl_init( );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.com" );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "username=Third_Degree&password=youwish" );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
$response = curl_exec( $ch );
print $response;

?>

 

they definitely look different.

[ratcateme]

do you want to send POST data to the perl script or GET

if you have get then change the url in the first example to

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.perlscript?email={$email}" );

if you want POST then use the second example and change

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "email={$email}" );

 

Scott.

[justinede]

ok i added that to my script and it didnt work. here is my script.

 

<?php  

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl" );		

// Receiving variables  

	@$from = addslashes($_POST['from']);  

	header("Location: http://jptvjwg.com/click/?c=59065&s=31492&email=$from"); 

// End 

?>

[Third_Degree]

Did you read the tutorial?

 

<?php
$post = 'from='.mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['from']); //Change this to whatever the post fields are
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_exec($ch);
?>

 

[justinede]

lol not really. just had time to look at it.

I have two fields, one is the email which is from, then there is the name and that is name. so can you plug those in?

[Third_Degree]

<?php
if(!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
?>
<form action="this.php" method="post">
Email: <input type="text" name="from" /><br />
Name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="sbumit" />
</form>
<?php die();
}
/*

Whatever YOUR script does with the form here

*/

$post = 'from='.mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['from']).'&name='.mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_exec($ch);
?>

 

Could've tried it on your own before asking for the whole script.

[justinede]

I know im sorry. thanks for this script.

But since my script redirects them to a new page would i put it after the cURL stuff?

[Third_Degree]

I'm not sure it will matter, I think the script would execute anyway despite header output, but I guess it can't hurt.

[justinede]

the problem im having is that the Pearl script wants to redirect the user.. and when i try to go to the pearl script it dosnt give me the code.

 

here is the action that Aweber is trying to use.

http://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl

 

I want to get in there and take out the part where it redirects, then ul to my server..

is it possible? or do you think they wuill have too much security.

 

[Third_Degree]

where is the regular form on aweber.com that posts to that url?

[justinede]

yeah oh its on a page that i made... yeah it posts to that pearl file.
