[PHP] submit form values to new site after validation

2001-04-19 Thread Tom Beidler

I'm trying to modify and e-commerce site which originally sent an email with
the credit card info in an email. Now they would like to pass credit card
numbers to a payment-processing service. For this particular service,
Authorize.net, you would normally direct the form data to the
payment-processing service. The page is currently setup to resubmit to
itself and validate fields before anything else.

I would like to keep that functionality but I'm wondering how to pass the
values onto the payment-processing center after the validation. The flow
would be, hit the submit button and send the data to the page to validate
the fields and then send the info to Authorize.net. The form currently has
about 15 fields to validate and only needs to pass 3 of them to the
payment-processing center.

I'm still relatively new to this and I'm thinking the only way to pass
variables is through a submitted form or the url and I don't want to put the
credit card info in the url.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tom

Using the POST method will prevent the credit card data from being included
in the url.  I would still be careful about sending data like this via a
POST to a form handler on an entirely different site.  It would be better if
there was some sort of secure socket to transfer the data through.
