Auto submit a form in PHP

[Scott Castillo]

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.

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