[thelist] calling a php file and submitting a form? (send POS T vars in PHP?)

[Joe Lance]

Tom,
This might help you out (link taken from the php manual)
An example to send POST data using fsockopen can be seen here:

Well, I can't use GET since cart.bok wants POST and I can't change
it. (If it was GET I'd have other options too).

I actually tried doing an HTTP post from an intermediate page with no
success, and I'm not keen on spending a ton of time on that.

I have however submitted the form to the same page, then picking up
on the submit name (submit=add to cart) I pop into an if clause.

>From there I used header("location: cart.bok"); which sent me right
there..which is great. Now I just need to send the POST vars along
with it. Here is my block:

$submit = $_POST["submit"];
$all_other_vars = $_POST['others'];

if($submit == "Add To Shopping Cart")
{
   header("Location: /Cart.bok");
}

This works... but is there a way to send the POST vars this way to
cart.bok? I suppose I could actually write a file using fputs() with
the info, but not sure if I could submit that file to cart.bok...

Tom
