can i do a submit?

[beco73]

Hi,

I have a website A, where person enters 'User name' and "Passowd" and click "login". Then I want to send them to this other website with the values of Password and username.

Now can I do a sumit, or since it is a different website all together i can only do it by creating a URL? and do a javascript "location"

thanks

Use the header() function. <

http://www.php.net/header>

<?
header('location [URL unfurl="true"]http://the.other.dom/website.php?pass=incleartext');[/URL]
exit();
?>

thanks, before I send it to other site I need to do validatation in javascript. So why not I send it through Javascript "location" command instead of PHP. Problem I see there that password will be going in URL whcih is not right, same if I use PHP. what you think about form submit?

What happens to your code if the user has Javascript turned off? Why can't you do all your validation and other work in PHP.

I rarely use Javascript except when I have to, like to make CSS menus work on MSIE and when interfacing with the Google Maps API.

Is the page you're sending the password to on a completely different domain? If not, you can use the $_SESSION array to pass it to the next script, assuming the script is written in PHP.

Yes it will be totally different domain. But by doing
<?
header('location

http://the.other.dom/website.php?pass=incleartext');

exit();
?>

password will be in URL, which I don't think is a good idea, right?.
