Re: Redirecting form data to external site

[cLive ;-)]

That won't work. The redirect header is just that - a redirect with no content.

Assuming that the PayPal form accepts QS info, you could get it to work like this:

# build attr hash - expand below...
my %attr = ( _cmd      => '_xclick',
             business  => $email,
             item_name => $comment);

# create query string name/value pairs
my @qsvars=();
for (keys %attr) {
    # escape values
    $attr{$_} = $cgi->escape( $attr{$_} ) ;
 
    # add to qs vars
    push @qsvars, "$_=$attr{$_}";   
}

# create query string
my $qs = join '&', @qsvars;

# send redirect
print $cgi->redirect("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?$qs");
exit(0);

Or something like that. I've broken down the steps above to make it easier to read, but you could also combine the qs creation into one statement using join and map if you wish.

OMG, I can't believe how stupid I am that I didn't think to just append the URI parameters. LOL! Thanks Clive, I'm sure that should work.

Update: Actually, it's still experiencing the same 302 errors. I forgot to emphasize that this is a post method, so I'm not sure this will work after all.
