Need PHP form to send an email on submit AND go to a confirmation type page!

[openhandmedia]

Hello all! I am a newbie, yes, and am trying to learn as quickly as I can! I am building a site for a non-profit that needs to collect information for sponsorships fields including: donation level, company information, other sponsorship opportunities, etc.

 

The full form can be see here: http://www.campgolfchallenge.org/register.html

 

Currently when the form is filled out it sends an email to the visitor and someone collecting the information. What I need to do is have the form ALSO post the filled out information to another page ,"register-submit.php" for instance, totaling the amount of money selected from the form but still emailing the information to the visitor.

 

My goal is to incorporate Google Donate so that they can see after submitting the form how much they need to enter into the donate field. I hope this isn't too confusing and someone can help!

 

I am also attaching the php files sendmail-register.php, register-submit.php

Only a human can POST a page (cUrl is possible but I wouldn't).

 

Php can't POST to another page.

 

The best bet is to store in a PHP session, then recall on any other page you want. (look into PHP sessions - very simple).

 

You could use $_GET which is exactly the same as POST (just type GET instead of POST) - and this pulls what is in the address bar rather than what sent in a form. Php could then do a header redirect to www.yoursite.com/page.php?a=Dave&b=100

 

By pulling $_GET['a'] and $_GET['b'] you can say:

 

Thanks Dave, you paid $100 or something.

 

 

header redirect is simple php code:

 

header ("Location: http://www.sitename.com/page.php?a=123");

I disagree.  Curl can post just as well as a human (except captcha).  Give that a shot.  It should do everything that you need it to.

I wasn't saying cURL can't post as well as a human, I was saying I wouldn't use it for this.

 

In this case it would just be best to store values in a session, or even merge the 2 scripts into one.

 

cURL for this just doesn't seem the best method - and also slightly more difficult for someone new to php.

 

I would look into PHP sessions, not cURL.
