Not sure if this is what you are looking for:


form_open('paysystem/save');
form_submit('mysubmit', 'Submit');

class Paysystem extends Controller {

function Paysystem()
{

}

function save()
{
// put data to database here
field['name'] = $this->input->post('name');
// blah blah and save into the database
}


}

i know how forms works and how to put data to database the problem is how to send them futher with post
i could use onclick sumbit button make AJAX call to submit.php (so it would be normal html post to action url and ajax would make input to database) or just use
GET:
in controller

Code:

header( 'Location: siteurl?datafromform');

and it works but i want send them with POST

http://nl3.php.net/curl Curl is what you need. Your php script opens up a http connection to the website and POSTS whatever it wants. It might seem difficult at first but once you delve into it it becomes easier, there are several tutorials available to help you out. If the other website is your's it becomes easier since you know what the form checks for, if not use an extension for Firefox that lists all your headers and copy those to the proper curl function so as to mimic a browser. On the php.net page there are several scripts in the notes.

If curl is not installed it's still possible using http-sockets in php, don't know about that though.

If you have php5, you can also use this http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.http.php

i already try sockets and curl but

i send post parameters i even can echo result but how to go to this url?

this is pay sytem and i need to redirect to the page where i send those data so that client could put there more data, then he click few things and will be redirected to adress which i put in pay system
and then i will update database with transaction status

I don't really understand what you mean. If it is a proper payment system it should have an API to handle this stuff. Otherwise I wouldn't know.

its works like that

-form put some data (like shop id, amount)
-submit to pay system page where is form, client put some data(like number of card,bank) (i need to put to database that he chose to pay)
-submit redirect back to my page with transaction status(is he paid, is he had enought cash)

its all work but curently on GET and GET soon will be deprecited so i need POST

[eluser]wojtekk[/eluser]
ok i skip the problem

by makeing 2 forms

form 1 chose data ->submit->add to database->form 2 are u sure->(yes->pay system redirect u to bank page->pay->redirect u to shop) or (no->remove from database back to shop)
