Order form antics

[toolman]

Is it possible (from an ssl server) to encase an order form in a php page that has the action pointed at itself. When submitted the processor will then pass the variables on to the intended desination. That way the destination is never revealed.

[volatilegx]

sure, just put an if statement detecting the METHOD of the request. in perl, it would be something like

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST"){
process data...
}

[nosanity]

in php...

if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
  // process data here
} else {
  // you should handle a GET request as well
}
