Delivering info to 2 cgi scripts

can this be done

[stcrim]

Is it possible with one click of a button to deliver data to two different CGI scripts on two different servers. One is a simple form handler with a nice _browser_out feature. The other is an email follow-up program which lacks the _browser_out feature.

So, is it possible to feed them both data by clicking one button???

I'm going to make the guess that for some reason you are unable to make changes to the scripts, through lack of knowledge or a server deficiency. Given that you can alter only the html on the page, there are a few creative possibilities. This cannot be done in any simple way - only with workarounds. The easiest thing I can think of is have the button call a javascript function which opens a new window that has all the form variables passed in the url and then submits the form in the current window.

Alternatively, it'd be possible to write a wrapper script which you call from the form. That script sorts out which form fields each script needs, and passes them on accordingly.

Could be done in a couple of lines of PHP if the destination scripts can be called with the GET method, if you need to use POST then I think Perl's LWP and related modules would be a better bet.
