How do I post form a hidden to random page

[W3Bster]

I have this code. The red colored links represent the randomized links i intend the to have the forms posted to. I just need to know if someone could please write the code needed to apply this code or something like it. Essentially I just need the page forwarding script to execute and move some variables in a hidden form to the page that it is directed to go to via the forwarding script. So the red links need to fill the green spot on the form. But i also need the form to be submitted automatically. I don't know any better way to explain it.

I will also need to know how to put the randomURL into the method area, i have tried several things it just does not want to work. If anyone wants to jump in on this one for assistance please help.

I am somewhat new to things and my understanding of terminology is still lacking, so I pretty much have to google things if I have difficulty coding it myself. If I cant find it on google I proceed to ask on forums as a last resort. Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
day = new Date();
hr = day.getSeconds();
if ((hr >= 0) && (hr <= 6)) {
randomURL = "http://cherry.com/chatroom.php";	}	
if ((hr > 6) && (hr <= 12)) {		  randomURL = "http://apples.com/chatroom.php";	 }	 
if ((hr > 12) && (hr <= 18)) {		 randomURL = "http://blah.com/chatroom.php";	 }	 
if ((hr > 18) && (hr <= 24)) {		  randomURL = "http://pears.com/chatroom.php";	}	 
if ((hr > 24) && (hr <= 30)) {		  randomURL = "http://grapes.com/chatroom.php";	 }	 
if ((hr > 30) && (hr <= 36)) {		  randomURL = "http://desksandchairs.com/chatroom.php";	 }	 
if ((hr > 36) && (hr <= 42)) {		  randomURL = "http://peaches.com/chatroom.php";	 }	 
if ((hr > 42) && (hr <= 48)) {		  randomURL = "http://tigerlillies.com/chatroom.php";	 }	 
if ((hr > 48) && (hr <= 54)) {		  randomURL = "http://foriegner.com/chatroom.php";	 }	 
if ((hr > 54) && (hr <= 60)) {		 randomURL = "http://pianos.com/chatroom.php";	 }	
document.write("<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3;url=" + randomURL + "'>");
// -->
</script>

<form action="The spot where forwarding link goes" method="post">
<br><input type="hidden" name="variable1" value="<? echo $_POST['blah']; ?>">
<br><input type="hidden" name="variable2" value="<? echo $_POST['hmmmm']; ?>">
<br><input type="submit" value="Submit!">
</form>

I guess everyone is sleeping today.

Hmm, I'm a little confused here - is the form on the page the javascript refreshes to?

[W3Bster]

It's not suppossed to refresh. It's supposed to have a different load for each interval.

[alexjewell]

I understand that...what I'm asking is which page the form is on...?

[spam_banjo]

does...

document.FORMNAME.action='somepage.html' ;

Or

document.getElementById('FORMID').action='somepage.html' ;

...not work?!?!?

[W3Bster]

The form is supposed to be hidden into "the page forwarding script" page. I just need a way to have varialbles from a previous form to be passed through the page with the page forwarding script. Inserting a a "hidden form" so that automatically submits into the "page forwarding script page" so that the end page receives the variables. I figured would be the best way... however figuring out how to do it is another thing.

Heres an example

[alexjewell]

Alright, what server side language are you using?

[W3Bster]

Its a php website.

OS: Debian Linux
PHP Ver: 5.1.6
MySQL Ver: 5.0.27

[alexjewell]

Alright, then why're you using javascript for this?

<?php session_start();

$_SESSION['blah'] = isset($_POST['blah']) ? $_POST['blah'] : 'empty';
$_SESSION['hmm'] = isset($_POST['hmm']) ? $_POST['hmm'] : 'empty';

$hr = date('s');

if($hr >= 00 && $hr <= 6){ $randomUrl = 'http://cherry.com/chatroom.php';}
if($hr > 6 && $hr < 12){ $randomUrl = 'http://apples.com/chatroom.php';}
.
.
.
//and so on

header('Location:'.$randomUrl);

?>

Ok, so now what we've done is replaced all javascript and made a way to save the info sent through the form on the previous page. We've set sessions so that on, say, cherries.com/chatroom.php we can do this:

<?php session_start();

$blah = isset($_SESSION['blah']) ? $_SESSION['blah'] : 'no blah session!';
$hmm = isset($_SESSION['hmm']) ? $_SESSION['hmm'] : 'no hmm session!';

?>

<h1>Welcome, I just wanted to say <?=$blah ?></h1>
<h1>Oh, and by the way...<?=$hmm ?></h1>

If you want any of this explained, just ask. You must have the session_start(); before any content is echoed. (It's easy to just drop it right after the opening php tags)

Hope this helps.
