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.
