tqla Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have a form that submits to a URL similar to this: www. sub1.website.com/reg.php This works fine. But I'd also like to send the variable information to www. sub2.website.com/reg.php I'm not sure that a form can do this on its own so I was thinking of creating an interim script that will do it. Does anybody know how to take all variables from a form and submit them to multiple locations for processing? Thanks.

sKunKbad Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 cURL is part of php. http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151002-solved-need-to-submit-page-to-more-than-one-action/#findComment-793346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewooleymammoth Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 isert the data into a database both can read so only one needs to process and both can read, or you could use a meta tag refresh and have the page process then send the redirect the user to the other page (via the meta refresh tag) and $_GET info for both. the second method is not secure btw Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151002-solved-need-to-submit-page-to-more-than-one-action/#findComment-793347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqla Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks Wooly, I'm considering your idea. but I don't think that will workin this case because I need to use an existing database. Skunkbad, your reply is not really in the spirit of this board. Can you give me an example? You might as well have said, "PHP can do it, look it up."

You might as well have said, "PHP can do it, look it up." ive got another way have page one write the info to a file, and have the other site use file_get_content('url.to.first.site.file') and set them both to check the others files periodically Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151002-solved-need-to-submit-page-to-more-than-one-action/#findComment-793353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewooleymammoth Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 also you could backup all the info on the database and upload it to one they could both access Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/151002-solved-need-to-submit-page-to-more-than-one-action/#findComment-793354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
