help needed posting to a URL

[atorres]

I've created a mod for processing information posted by a return function from an online payment site. After It processes the information It must post some variables to another mod. I'm just starting in PHP programming and cant find a way for doing that without creating a form and forcing the user to click on a button.

Let's say my mod is called return.php and receives a number of posted fields from the payment link return function. This mod processes that information and creates two variables called $_ord_id (string) and $_purchased (yes/no).
After processing that infromation it must automaticaly redirect to a URL like http://mysite.com/mod.php?mod=ord ers&mode=return posting those two variables to the URL.

Now the question: What would be the code to do that redirection and post those variables?

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to The Scripts!

You show a lot of text, but where is your code? If you want us to help you, show the code you have developed so far and we will have a look and try to see what you need to achieve your goal.

the solution can be simple if you use a session.
[PHP]
if(count($_POST ) > 0){
// process the form
// put variables in the session
$_SESSION['ord_id'] = $_ord_id;
$_SESSION['purchased'] = $_purchased;
// redirect to other page
header('http://mysite.com/mod.php?mod=ord ers&mode=return ');
}
[/PHP]

If you do this it's best you include these pages in a master page and you start the session there. For security reasons you can unset the session variables when you finished processing them on the redirected page.

Sorry guys for not having posted my code. But now, here it goes:

Whem my client finishes the payment process at the on-line payment site it will return automaticaly to this script by calling the URL http://mysite.com/return.php and posting a number of values to it.

[PHP]// RECEIVES THE POST SENT BY BRPAY AND VALIDATE THE DATA
$BRpay = 'Comando=valida r';
$BRpay .= '&Token=1234567 890';
$Cabecalho = "";

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){
$value = urlencode(strip slashes($value) );
$BRpay .= "&$key=$val ue";
}

if (function_exist s('curl_exec')) {
$curl = true;
}
elseif ( (PHP_VERSION >= 4.3) && ($fp = @fsockopen('ssl ://www.brpay.com.b r', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30)) ){
$fsocket = true;
}
elseif ($fp = @fsockopen('www .brpay.com.br', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30)){
$fsocket = true;
}

// SEND DATA BACK TO BRPAY FOR VALIDATION
if ($curl == true){
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.brpay.com.b r/Security/NPI/Default.aspx/');
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_POSTFIE LDS, $BRpay);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_RETURNT RANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_TIMEOUT , 30);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_SSL_VER IFYPEER, false);

$resp = curl_exec($ch);
if (!tep_not_null( $resp)){
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.brpay.com.b r/Security/NPI/Default.aspx/');
$resp = curl_exec($ch);
}

curl_close($ch) ;
$confirma = (strcmp ($resp, "VERIFICADO ") == 0);
}
elseif ($fsocket == true){
$Cabecalho = "POST /Security/NPI/Default.aspx HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$Cabecalho .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" ;
$Cabecalho .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($BRpay) . "\r\n\r\n";

if ($fp || $errno>0){
fputs ($fp, $Cabecalho . $BRpay);
$confirma = false;
$resp = '';
while (!feof($fp)){
$res = @fgets ($fp, 1024);
$resp .= $res;
// Verifies if the transaction status is VERIFICADO (VERIFIED)
if (strcmp ($res, "VERIFICADO ") == 0){
confirma=true;
break;
}
}
fclose ($fp);
}
}

if (confirma){
$_purchased = 'yes';
}
else{
$_purchased = 'no';
}[/PHP]

At this point the script will process the posted fields and may or may not change the $_purchased value depending on the results (under development). The value for $_ord_id is also posted to this script.
After the processing the script must redirect to http://mysite.com/mod.php?mod=ord ers&mode=return posting $_purchased and $_ord_id to that URL. This is the part of the code that I need.
All the user interaction is done by this last URL.

Thanks for the help so far.

I've made some changes to my script and it's not working. I tried to use xwero's sugestion bu all I get is a blank page when the pay-link returns to my mod and it doesn't redirects to the URL it should. What coud be wrong?

Thanks for the help.

Here is the modified code:

[PHP]<?php
// RECEBE O POST ENVIADO PELA BRPAY E ADICIONA OS VALORES PARA VALIDAÇÃO DOS DADOS
$BRpay = 'Comando=valida r';
$BRpay .= '&Token=1234567 89';
$Header = '';
$confirma = false;

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){
$value = urlencode(strip slashes($value) );
$BRpay .= "&$key=$val ue";
}

if ( (PHP_VERSION >= 4.3) && ($fp = @fsockopen ('ssl://www.brpay.com.b r', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30)) ){
$fsocket = true;
}
elseif ($fp = @fsockopen('www .brpay.com.br', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30)){
$fsocket = true;
}

// ENVIA DE VOLTA PARA A BRPAY OS DADOS PARA VALIDAÇÃO
if ($fsocket == true){
$Header = "POST /Security/NPI/Default.aspx HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$Header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" ;
$Header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($BRpay) . "\r\n\r\n";

if ($fp || $errno>0){
fputs ($fp, $Header . $BRpay);
$resp = '';
while (!feof($fp)){
$res = @fgets ($fp, 1024);
$resp .= $res;
if (strcmp ($res, "VERIFICADO ") == 0){
$confirma=true;
break;
}
}
fclose ($fp);
}
}
$_ord_id= $_POST['Referencia'];
if ($Confirma){
$_Status = 'OK';
}
else{
$_Status = 'NOK';
}

// REDIRECIONA PARA A FUNCAO DE RETORNO
$_SESSION['ord_id'] = $_ord_id;
$_SESSION['Status'] = $_Status;
// redirect to other page
header('http://www.hotspothost ing.com.br/mod.php?mod=ord ers&mode=return ');
?>[/PHP]

Where did you start your session?

For the session option to work you need to embed the page you got in a master page which handles the redirections. And in that page you start your session so you can get and set session variables for all the pages that are embedded.

a quick an dirty redirection masterpage example

[PHP]
// cache get variables for checking
$getParameter1 = $_GET['parameter1'];
// checking code here
// page redirection based on first parameter
switch($getPara meter1){
case 'a':
// cache get variables after first parameter for checking
$getParameter1_ 1 = $_GET['parameter1_1'];
// checking code here
// page redirection
include('page1. php')
break;
}
[/PHP]
if that page is named index.php all the urls are index.php?... The url to get you to page1.php is index.php?param eter1=a&paramet er1_1=b.

You can have as many levels as you want ofcourse.

[xwero]

[PHP]<?php

header('http://www.hotspothost ing.com.br/mod.php?mod=ord ers&mode=return ');
?>[/PHP]

should be

[PHP]<?php

header('Locatio n: http://www.hotspothost ing.com.br/mod.php?mod=ord ers&mode=return ');
?>[/PHP]

[atorres]

Thank you guys for your help.
Talking to the developer of my shoping cart I got to know that I could use GET to pass the values to the mod, so I changed the last part of my code (based on the tips from xwero) as follows:

[PHP]$_ord_id= $_POST['Referencia'];
if ($Confirma){
$_Status = 'OK';
}
else{
$_Status = 'NOK';
}

// REDIRECTS TO phpCoin RETURN FUNCTION
$Header = 'Location: http://www.hotspothost ing.com.br/mod.php?mod=ord ers&mode=return &ord_id=';
$Header .= $_ord_id;
$Header .= '&Status=';
$Header .= $_Status;

// redirect to other page
header($Header) ;
[/PHP]

Now it's working as expected.
Thanks again.
Cheers :)
