For example, I’m working on a webpage where a user can apply to join a group.
When they click ‘Apply’ I want it to redirect them to a forum we’re members of, more specifically the Private Messaging system, with the subject and body already filled out.
Is this even possible?
The forum is off server, by the way. Owned by someone else.
It’s entirely possible, and PHP provides a nice
http_redirectfunction just for this purpose.http://us.php.net/http_redirect
Filling out form fields when they get there is another matter. You can try POSTing the data to the page using the same names the form uses and see if it persists the data. If so, you can write some javascript to have the user’s browser post a dummy form to that page containing the prefilled info instead of doing a straight HTTP redirect.
