Submit form info to 2 locations

**SawnDiddle** · 11-27-2007, 01:14 AM

Ok, I have a form at http://www.decisionfacilitation.com/...onFormID=19678
And it currently is setup to submit information to an online database. (got it from my host). But what I want to do is get a copy of the email of everyone who subscribes to my newsletter too. (the system doesn't do that).

So, how can I setup this form so that the online database gets the information and I also get the information in an email? How do I pass the data to two different locations?

BTW, I am pretty new to all this as I mainly do Desktop Publishing.

You can't do both at once. You will need to use a server side language to retransmit the data to a second location.

There was another thread about the same subject with, I believe, more complex answers you will probably find useful.

ok, so if I change

Code:

<form action="http://www.decisionfacilitation.com/tinc" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">

to

Code:

<form action="form.php" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">

And have form.php say...

Code:

<?php
  $email = $_REQUEST['EMail'] ;
  $first = $_REQUEST['FirstName'] ;
  $last = $_REQUEST['Name'];
  $message = $first + $last;

  mail( "yourname@example.com", "New Subscriber",
    $message, "From: $email" );
  header( "Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html" );
?>

How do I implement the below so that tinc gets all the information above plus the registration form ID and also the key?

Code:

<form action="http://www.decisionfacilitation.com/tinc" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
<input type="hidden" name="try" value="true" />
<input type="hidden" name="RegistrationFormID" value="19678" />
<div class="box">
<input type="hidden" name="key" value="YrUz9HAQ" />

Am I doing this right?
