Creating a URL based on Form data

[benyates1]

I have a multi-step form that offers different options of membership to users with the e-mail domain 'vip.co.uk' I finally have it working but have hit a wall with pulling the variables together to form an URL that can be submitted to the payment gateway in the final step.

 

The variables I need to pass are username, password, email, subscription id (a value attached to a radio button in step 2 - not yet built it).

 

I have a JS fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/zsasvoo4/15/.

 

The final form will be in PHP and I'd prefer to use that language.

I would say you shouldnt bother submitting it directly in php. use ajax in the

$(".submit").click(function(){

$.ajax({

   type:'POST',

   data: $('#joinform').serialize(),

  url: 'url to your backend php script / controller''

});

}) 

 

then in the backend just pull out the form vars

$username = $_POST['username'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];

//do your data santizing .....

//build a string and sent using curl / guzzle / http client

$url = 'http://gatewayaddress?username='.$username.'&password='.$pass ........ etc

Thanks for the response, its the building of the string I guess taht i'm having trouble with. I should have been clearer - I'm familiar with PHP variables and passing them in URLs. It's the taking of form fields and making them usable as parameters in an URL.
