sending form info to a url link using php
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2006 11:30 am
ok let me start off by saying that i am a noob with php.
ok, i created a form that sends the information to an online CRM tool via a URL in the actions tag. i want to use php though so i can create my own records for the form info in the form of Emails. so basically i want the form to post to php, and then the php needs to send out an email with the info and ALSO send the info to the URL. i know how to do the email part, but sending the variables to the URL is the part i dont know. i read some tutorials and examples using fopen or fsocket open but being a noob at php, i didnt understand how the variables were passed, even if thats what it was doing.
if there is a better way to do this or if anyone knows how to do this please help me.
