I'd like to submit a .php form to a url at an external site and redirect to a local
page, but am stumped and need some help. -
<form ACTION="http://www.externalsite/post.php" method="post" name="thisForm" onsubmit="return validate(this)"></form>
-
[Please use CODE tags when posting source code. Thanks! --pbmods]
Have tried adding a hidden input type but it doesn't seem to be working. -
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www. mysite.com/thanks.html" />
-
Thanks, LeslieTP

Heya, LeslieTP. Welcome to TSDN!
The external script has to do the redirection. If you don't have control over it, you'll have to get in contact with the developer for that site.
Thanks! I'll be sure to use Code tags for my next post. I appreciate your prompt reply. So basically I need to contact the developer for the external site, and have them do the redirect for me back to my site? Thank you.

hmmm
wouldn't it be possible to POST the form via httpRequest and then redirect to the local page once that is done?
or does httpRequest not support accessing other domains like flash?
ofcourse this rules out any information printed by the external site...

To prevent XSS, most browsers will disallow cross-domain AJAX requests. However, you could create a PHP script that sends the POST request to another site and then redirects the browser.
In general, though, if the external script can do it for you, it makes your life a lot easier.

You could always perform your post in an invisible iframe, and have your main page do the redirect.

pbmods >> yea, thought that too :)
I think Motoma's solution sounds quite simple, and do-able....

I want to redirect input from one page to another, but it's POST content.
If it were GET, I could just do something like:

I can't rewrite the destination script, because it's proprietary. And
compiled. And for Windows.
A few details might help: I'm using Imail's Web-based email interface on

Say I've got a page - myPage.asp - that expects to see the
results of a form's POST operation. If it comes from the
form, all is fine.
However, if someone were to manually type the address in
the address bar - http://www.mysite.com/myPage.asp - I'd
like to be able to detect that they're trying to
circumvent the form and redirect them to the appropriate
page using Response.Redirect().

I am working on a PHP 4 app that interacts with an external authorization
server. The external server does "third-party" authorization of users.
So I do the following:
1) Each of my PHP scripts has an include file (require_once) that checks to
see if the current user has recently been authorized.
2) If not, the user is "handed off" to the external server. I do this by
building the necessary URL for authorization and using refresh to...

I need to redirect to a page and HTTP Post data. The
Response.Redirect does not work and the HTTPREQUEST option calls the
page and waits for a response, but I need to transfer control to the
page. Eg. Redirect and POST data.
The only way I can see to do this is to format a HTML/POST, with
Javascript, page and use the RESPONSE.WRITE option.
Thanks
