two actions on form

[gum1982]

 

Can you make a form send off two sets of information?

 

Ive got a script generated from a auto responses service can i have it so that when i hit submit on the form i can send the information through to another page.

 

I guess what im saying is? is their a way to have two actions on this form so when submit is pressed it sends to

 

action="http://www.getresponse.com/cgi-bin/add.cgi"

 

but could i also send it to say action="process.php" aswell.

 

Is their a way to do this?

 

 

this is the form

 

<form action="http://www.getresponse.com/cgi-bin/add.cgi" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8">

 

<!-- form input fields -->

 

</form><script type="text/javascript">var el=document.getElementById("custom_http_referer"); el.value = document.location; </script>

There is no way to do this, a browser only supports one action. On the PHP side, take the form that was submitted via $_POST[] and you can then pass that variable on to another function etc.

No, the browser will only send the form to one destination... would it not be possible to send it one on destination, and when it have finished send it to another?

 

Edit: Damn it, too slow... +1 what milesap said

I just what it to pass through the variables of email and name to the next page after submit so i can store these values as well.

Yes It is possible to submit one form to two actions. It requires some JavaScript manipulation. Here is how:

Have two iframes in the page. Switch the 'target' of the form and submit the form.

 

Sample code:

 

function submitMyForm() {
  document.contact_us.submit();
      document.contact_us.action = "Another.php";
      document.contact_us.target='k4';
      document.contact_us.submit();
      
      return false;
}
