Submitting a php form to a remote server

Butters · 10 Jan 2008 at 10:10

Yo!

Now that my php skillz are uber l33t *cough* I was wondering if someone could answer a quick question for me.

Is it possible to submit the details entered to a server somewhere else?

I'd rather have personal details held on my own server rather than my hosting companies.

it surely is, in your HTML just point the action of your form to your server, run the processing PHP there, then redirect the user back to a confirmation message on the originating client server.

Cool,

What do I put as the form action then?

Code:

<form name="myform" action="http://www.remotesite.com/process.php" method="post">
<! -- form elements -->
</form>

Would work wouldn't it?
