Hi Guys
I Got a page that looks like this
The page :
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
<?
echo '<html>';
echo '<head>';
echo '<title>input page</title>';
echo '</head>';
echo '<body>';
echo '<form method="post">';
echo '<input type="text" name="data1">';
echo '<input type="submit" value="send data">';
echo '</form></body></html>';
$to="mail@domain.com";
$sub="log";
$data=$_POST['data1'];
$msg="The Data The User inputed :\n".$data;
mail("$to","$sub","$msg","From: Name <mail@domain.com>");
?>
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
So That's Just An Example Page
What I want to do is To Mail The data from the form and at the same time to pass it to another page (let's say it's name is "page2.php"To handle the data so is there any way i can do that ?
thank You all

Why wouldn't you be handling the data on the same page that you are emailing it? You are just going to cause problems for yourself this way by making more work.

i'm afraid you cannot do cross domain posting just like that. You could via ajax though but i'm not sure all browsers support it.

Why not, people do it all the time. you just need to use any library like CURL to create your POST request and send the data to your new page.

[php.net...]

well, that's not such an easy solution for a newbie. Besides, my hosting company for instances does not give curl access, for security reasons i think.

ali91,u should generate form with url target to desire server. if u wont more useful scheme to control result of the transferring data, use java applet - it will be switcher among your server and others.

The CURL url posted above contains a class to perform these tasks, in "user comments". look for the function

function post($url,$data)

in that class, you just send final page url and $_POST to it.

ali91, if i understood you rightly: 1st server receives form and put this data to db, other is mailserver? if it is, why shouldn't you use imap functions? script put form to db and then drives e-mail.
