Can a PHP page send info to a 3rd party while a session is going with the client

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have a situation where I would like to send some info from a host web server to another web server after a client has connected to the host server. I would like to do it in such a way that is transparent to the client.

Have a look at [URL=http://members.optusnet.com.au/~abms/Comm_Diagram.jpg]this diagram[/URL] for a better description. The message sent to the other web site is most likely to occur when the client initially connects to the main server.

I pretty sure this is possible with cgi scripts (eg. counters), but that’s not how I need to do this, since both servers are shared SSL sites.

Cheers,
Nap

Depending on what you are trying to achieve?

Success!
