help with form POST and redirect.

[Whoopage]

Hey all - new to the site and could really use some help.

 

My situation:  I have a form that needs to post results to a specific URL (which is on a different server and I have no control over).  Essentially it is a lead generating form...

 

But after I post to the URL, I want it then to redirect back to a page on my site, a thank you page.

 

I believe I need some sort of form processing script, where the form results are processed, sent to the URL and then the script redirects or displays a Thank you message.

 

I don't know how to write such a script though.

 

I know that the form action will need to call the script, but I don't know how to pass the results to the processing script nor how to make the script then POST them to the URL.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!

I presume that the page you are redirecting to will add the lead generation to their own database as you cannot update a database that your server cannot access.

 

As far as I know you will need the page on the other server to redirect back to your site.

 

I would suggest contacting the site owner of the other website and ask how it is best to implement what you want to do.

I agree. I dont think its possible to send the POST results to the other page without actually going there. And once you are there I dont think you can get back without being forwarded by that page.
