Need to Post Form Data via HTTP....Grrr

[miguelc]

Hey all,

 

I have a php based form that works well - and emails the results of the form via email (managed via a processor.php file).  I want to modify the processor.php to post the data to a URL as this example:

 

########

firstName=John&lastName=Doe&spouseFirstName=Jane&spouseLastName=Doe&homePhone=09808080&workPhone=09809809&cellPhone=098098&email=jdoe@testdomain.com&loanAmount=097798798&loanType=Refinance&propertyType=Single+Family&propertyValue=75000&creditScore=Excellent&postedDate=&URL=http://www.domainname.com/index.xxx

#########

 

What do I need to change in the processor.php file to post to a URL vs Email as it is today?  Here's the contents of processor.php file below...willing to throw some money via paypal to get this going...

Is there a particular reason you need to do it this way? Most browsers limit the number of characters that can be used in a GET query string, so you'd be better off using the POST method.
