Hello, When you redirect In your PHP/db script, add the POSTED data onto the URL. Example: $redirect_url = "Location: paymentgateway.com?name=$name&email=$email...etc";
header($redirect_url) or, I think this would work: $redirect_url = "Location: paymentgateway.com$_SERVER['query_string']";
header($redirect_url)

Hi Birdman, I had thought of adding the paremeters to the payment gateway url, but the restriction on passing parameters is 255 characters I believe. This limit could easily be hit with the data being transfered so that's not an option. Would it be possible to send the form twice? First time to update the database and then the second time to the payment gateway? Cheers Andy

then you have to use the POST method and place the data in the document body from within PHP. SN

I would POST the form to one of your own pages, do the database insert, then use a utility like "curl" to forward the information to the payment gateway.

Hi, Thanks for your advice, I looked at various options, but in the end I reconfigured the results sent from the payment gateway to display a more user friendly "thank you" page and updated the database from there. Cheers Andy
