Auto submit a form in PHP

Does anybody know how to auto-submit a form in PHP without Javascript?

For instance, submit form variables to self, validate the data in PHP on
same page, then, if no errors, auto-submit the data via post rather than
URL. Could serialize a few fields to URL, but there is a larger comments
field that I think needs to be posted instead.

Auto-post the form variables possible?

Thanks,

Scott

You already have the data (and it is already validated). Why repost and
revalidate?

If there's a validation error stop processing and inform the user.

No.

OH! header() function is your friend :-)

Example:

Load you init page.php then evaluate your variables. If variable is validate
then header redirect you new page.

Explicit NO.

Best regards.

You can't autosubmit with PHP because it's a backend technology. Submit is
a front end action.

The problem is I have 3 buttons that need to submit the form to different URL. My approach is to declare <input type="submit"> rather than <input type="button">. And put the following in the JavaScript: InputForm.action="URL LOCATION" InputForm.method="POST"; I think we don't need InputForm.submit(); because <input type="submit">.

How does one go about submitting a form with a link - but submitting it to a new window AND to a page different to that described within the action="" option of the <form> tag? Say, for example, I have a simple form such as the following: <form method="POST" action="submit.php" name="AForm"> Name: <input type="text" name="Name" length="20"><br> Age: 15 <a href="age.php">change age</a><br> <input type="submit" name="submit"...

Can somebody clarify if/how/when a simple form is submitted when the <Enter> key is pressed? As I understood it, if you have a form with a single submit button, if enter is pressed, the form should be submitted as if the button is pressed. Is this correct? Does this behaviour vary across browsers? Chris
