How to send data from one server to another server

[ravemanhattan]

Hi,

 

I am new to Ajax and I am stuck at a point where I have send the form details from one sever (html form) to another server(php file).

 

I am using Ajax for posting the data till now to the server, but is it possible to use Ajax to send data from one server to another server.

 

Please suggest me some techniques that can be used to work through this application.

 

I would really apprecaite any suggestions regarding this issue.

 

Thanks,

ravemanhattan.

Not possible. You can use CURL. That's PHP-related, not JavaScript.

Yes you can do this. If you wanted to process the form data on another server then the form action parameter would simply point at the page i.e.

<form action="http://www.xyz.com/process.php" method="post">

 

However if you want to do it with ajax then I suggest the accepted method on the remote server is GET so:

// Ajax method
req.open("GET", http://www.xyz.com/process.php?var1="+val1+"&var2="+val2);

With this method you can also store the data on both servers with a second ajax request whereas using the using the form action parameter will send a user to the remote server. You would have to redirect them back.

I don't think any AJAX call works outside the realm of your own domain.

Wasn't aware of that thanks. However the Ajax call could initiate a server side script to post to a remote server.
