As I mentioned already you would be best not using Javascript and performing the submission via PHP. I wrote the following snippet in the past to do something similar to what you are asking. Study it and see if you can adapt it to your own needs. You should be able to loop on the form submission but you may want to disable script time limit if you expect that this will take a while.
function submitForm( $host, $path, $data ) { $headerString = 'POST '.$path.' HTTP/1.0' ."\r\n" .'User-Agent: Lynx ;)' ."\r\n" .'Host: '.$host ."\r\n" .'Accept: */*' ."\r\n" .'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' ."\r\n" .'Content-length: '; $postData = ''; foreach( $data as $key => $value ) { $postData .= urlencode( $key ).'='.urlencode( $value ).'&'; } $postData = ereg_replace( '.$', '', $postData ); $headerString .= ''.strlen( $postData )."\r\n\r\n"; $headerString .= $postData."\r\n"; $content = sendRequest( $host, $headerString ); $content = implode( "\n", $content ); echo 'CONTENT'."\n\n".$content."\n\n"; } function sendRequest( $host, $header ) { $fp = fsockopen ( $host, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30 ); $data = ''; if( !$fp ) { echo "Error: $errstr ($errno)\n"; } else { fputs( $fp, $header ); while( !feof( $fp ) ) { $data .= fgets( $fp, 128 ); } fclose( $fp ); } return explode( "\n", $data ); } Cheers, Rob.
