Submit form to two places

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 19.2013

I am just learning PhP, and need to modify a form. It’s currently submitting an email address to a newsletter subscription database, and I also need it to submit the same email address to the Subscribe2 WP plugin. Any suggestions for how to do this? I may need to be walked through it as I am quite new to this. Thanks!

Here is the current form:

<form method=”post” action=”http://oi.vresp.com?fid=62c0b66827” target=”vr_optin_popup” onsubmit=”window.open( ‘http://www.verticalresponse.com‘, ‘vr_optin_popup’, ‘scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=450’ ); return true;” >

<div style=”font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; width: 110px; padding: 7px; margin: 0 12px; border: 1px solid #8D8368; background: #8D8368″>
<strong><span style=”color: #ffffff;”>Sign Up For Newsletter</span></strong><br/><br/>
<label style=”color: #ffffff;”>Email Address:</label><br/>
<input name=”email_address” size=”12″ style=”margin-top: 5px; border: 1px solid #999; padding: 3px;”/><br/>
<input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” style=”margin-top: 5px; border: 1px solid #999; padding: 3px;”/><br/>
</div>
</form>

It needs to be combined with this code, to submit the email address to Subscribe2.

global $mysubscribe2;
$mysubscribe2-&gt;email = $email;
if ( &#039;1&#039; !== $mysubscribe2-&gt;is_public($mysubscribe2-&gt;email) ) {
$mysubscribe2-&gt;add($this-&gt;email);
$status = $mysubscribe2-&gt;send_confirm(&#039;add&#039?;
}

@ssdogSep 20.2013 — Here is a tip for you: you have that onsubmit in your form, you could create a function that sends your data via AJAX requests wherever you need, then call
[CODE]window.open( 'http://www.verticalresponse.com', 'vr_optin_popup', 'scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=450' )[/CODE]

  • 1. You are reliant on people not running popup blockers

  • 2. use of CSS would help improve your code readability as would use of the forum tags to highlight code

  • 3. this code [code=php]global $mysubscribe2;
    $mysubscribe2-&gt;email = $email;
    if ( &#039;1&#039; !== $mysubscribe2-&gt;is_public($mysubscribe2-&gt;email) ) {
    $mysubscribe2-&gt;add($this-&gt;email);
    $status = $mysubscribe2-&gt;send_confirm(&#039;add&#039;
    }[/code]


    • seems to be part of a function. Are you wanting to send the same information to two email addresses? if so, it only needs the mail() function repeated with the destination information set.

    @priyankagoundSep 21.2013 — you cannot do it using simple form post submit. but you can do it using AJAX.

    as you soon as you call submit() fn, the data from the form is posted to the action url page. hence you might end up page being loaded.

    Success!
