Submit Values via POST to multiple PHP files - php

Question

I have a form :
<form action="moods.php" method="post" id="geog">
Longitude: <input size="15" id="lonbox" name="lon" type="text" />
Latitude: <input size="15" id="latbox" name="lat" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
I wish to submit the values of latitude and longitude to multiple .php files apart from moods.php at the same time using the single above form.
How can I do that?? please suggest some ways ..

Answer 1

why have the form submit to multiple pages, when you can have one single script include() the other scripts?
require('script1.php');
require('script2.php');
require('script3.php');

Answer 2

You could submit it to a file containing a cURL script that would handle multiple submissions
<form action="multi_submit.php" method="post" id="geog">
on multi_submit.php handle the form submission using cURL

Answer 3

If you really need to submit the values over multiple .php files, and the require option gave by dqhendricks does not solve it, why not to use several Ajax calls? One for each file.
You could have something like this:
<form onsubmit='sendSeveralPost()'>
... form fields
</form>
And the javascript function
function sendSeveralPost() {
var f1 = document.getElementById('field1');
var f2 = document.getElementById('field2');
var x = getXmlHttp();
var params = 'field1='+f1+'&field2='+f2;
x.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
x.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
x.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
var files = new Array();
files[0] = 'script1.php';
files[1] = 'script2.php';
files[2] = 'script3.php';
for (i=0;i<files.lenght;i++) {
var url = files[i];
x.open("POST", url, true);
x.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
if(x.readyState == 4 && x.status == 200) {
alert(x.responseText);
}
}
x.send(params);
}
}
function getXmlHttp() {
var xmlHttp;
try { // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
try { // Internet Explorer 6.0+
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e){
try { // Internet Explorer 5.5
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e){
alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
return false;
}
}
}
return xmlHttp;
}
Further explanations about the commands can be found at the article http://www.openjs.com/articles/ajax_xmlhttp_using_post.php, from where I took the inspiration for this example.
Hope this helps.
Namastê!
