Ok situation:

Someone i know has a website, they get people to register at their site. We want at the same time they register there to be registered into the vbulletin user database, auutomatically.

how?

What could be put inside a cgi or php script on a different server that sends a request to the database to register someone to it?

Any ideas?

thanks

The basics (no code)

1. Take the "registration" part of member.php and put it into its own file i.e. register.php

2. Remove the templates in it.

3. Add a variable (i.e. $redirect) to the form so that you can use it. They can put this as a hidden form field and it should contain the page of their thank you page.

4. Instead of calling standard_redirect template after you do the insert, use Header(location:$redirect) to redirect them back to the proper place.

if you need the exact code, let me know.

i am slightly confused, i get the bit about the register part of member.php but not how it would work.

someone goes to my friend's site and submits say username, password and email. There script deals with the stuff in whatever way it does.

but then how do i get that information into my database as well? do you mean they should get their script to send to my script instead of a thank you page with the info along with it? (how would this work in the form of signup.php?name=sfsdf&password=sdfdsfsdf&emailnoti fication=y etc?

it is that bit i don't really know how to do, how to get a form submitted to one script and then that script submit a form automatically to another.

Passing data from one form to another

don't think this is really what we want,

this appears to be just work like a hidden form field in a php script but instead using javascript.

I want to submit the results of 1 form to 2 different scripts. this just passes form to form.. aka hidden values.

Did you ever get this to work?

I would like to have a more complex membership app which not only updates the "home" database, but then also automatically registers them as a user in my same site's forum.

I would be very interested in this as well!

im working on something very similar for my site, and here is what i've pieced together..
register.php

PHP Code:


			
<?

/*********************************************************************************************

*********************************************************************************************/

if($Submit) {

$db_reg=PostToHost("www.yoursite.com","/path/to/forums/register.php","username=".urlencode($username)."&password=".urlencode($password)."&passwordconfirm=".urlencode($password)."&email=".urlencode($email)."&emailconfirm=".urlencode($email)."&homepage=".urlencode($homepage)."&icq=".urlencode($icq)."&aim=".urlencode($aim)."&yahoo=".urlencode($yahoo)."&allowmail=".urlencode($allowmail)."&invisible=".urlencode($invisible)."&showemail=".urlencode($showemail)."&cookieuser=yes&nosessionhash=yes&receivepm=no&emailonpm=no&pmpopup=no&prunedays=-1&umaxposts=-1&startofweek=1&timezoneoffset=-5&emailnotification=no&newstyleset=1&action=addmember&submit=submit"); 

header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/yay.shtml");

exit;

} else {

include "./registerinc.php";

exit;

}

/*********************************************************************************************

*********************************************************************************************/



function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) { 

  $fp = fsockopen($host,80); 

  fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n"); 

  fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n"); 

  fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"); 

  fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n"); 

  fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n"); 

  fputs($fp, $data_to_send); 

  while(!feof($fp)) { 

    return fgets($fp, 128); 

  } 

  fclose($fp); 

} 

?>

and then we need to have the form, so make registerinc.php

Code:

works for me. what i like about it, is that if i want to i can just add more function calls to 'posttohost' utilizing whatever vars the registration for any given form needs (the above is for vb2.0, and it auto-sets some things to default, so the base register page is more generic) but you can modify it easilly to work for most anything

Awesome, thank you so much. Since I'm no pro, I'll need a few days to check it out. Wish me luck!!

Thanks again,
