newbie alert: forward to a php script

[Chris Pat]

Hello
Is it possible to have an Action that processes some data and then posts to a 
url completely out of control of the framework?  I want to process and write to 
a db first and then using the same parameters and any added session variables 
post to a php script, initially running on localhost but eventually on a 
completely different url.  Can someone help me understand how or why not.  I 
really need to do it even if it is not to the spec.  Thank you.
