Question

I have a web form on an IIS server (has no PHP). I have a PHP script on a LAMP server. My _POST var array is coming up empty on the LAMP server. My suspicion is I cannot pass POST vars from 1 server to another but I would like to have that confirmed. Does anyone know the answer to this?

If that’s the case then I know I need to with use _GET vars in the URL’s Query String or set a cookie (which I can do because both servers are config’d with the domain name).

Thanks for your help.

I overthought my first answer.

Why don’t you just change the action url attribute on the <form> tag to the PHP script address you want to collect and process the form?

eg go from:

<form method="post">
    <input ...>
</form>

to:

<form method="post" action="http://other.server.ext/my-php-script.php">
    <input ...>
</form>
