I’m working on an intermediary form that will gather some data from the user submitted form, and then re-build the form and send it to our authorizer in the appropriate format. Everything is working fine except that I cannot get it to submit this secondary form automatically. I have read several other posts on SO regarding this issue, but they all seem to be requiring a trigger to then submit the form, which mine does not. I simply require it to submit, and my jQuery seems to be taking a nap.
...data gathered here...
echo "<html><head></head><body>";
echo "<form id='forwarderForm' method='post' action='https://www.beanstream.com/scripts/process_transaction.asp'>";
//rebuild the form to send to beanstream
$keys = array_keys($_POST);
for($i = 0; $i < count($_POST); $i++) {
$currentKey = $keys[$i];
$currentPost = $_POST[$currentKey];
echo "<INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='" .$currentKey. "' VALUE='" .$currentPost. "'>";
}
echo "</form>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$('#forwarderForm').submit();
</script></body></html> ";
I have also tried removing the jQuery from the PHP echo, but this does not work either. when using a standard submit button to send the form, everything works fantastic, but I can’t get it to submit by itself.
I added the HTML/HEAD/BODY tags later because I was unsure if they mattered for the purposes of a simple form construct/submit, but this did not appear to change anything.
any comments, suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated. I know it’s probably something very simple that’s eluding me, so your help is appreciated.
You will need to add this in a document.ready clause, like this
