Hi guys/girls,

I have to apologize if this issue has been discussed in detail before but I
couldn't find anything obvious so far.

What I need/want to do is to :

1. Take POST data from a form (no problem)
2. Do whatever i need to on the target page (no problem)
3. Pass some other data on to a 3rd page as a POST
request.
4. Get the browser to follow to said 3rd page.


All this is happening via SSL.

So basically what i am trying to do is to "fake" whatever happens
at a normal POST request that is handled by the browser.

Now point 4. in my example above is giving me a massive headache,
I have managed to pass data on to the 3rd page as POST quite comfortably
using cURL but the browser doesn't follow (ie. the URL in the address bar
remains unchanged).

I did see that there is a FOLLOWLOCATION option you can set in cURL when you
do you request, and though "wicked, just what I needed" only to find out
that it's not working (probably because I understand what it does wrong).

Pretty pretty please if anyone knows a solution for the above, let me know.

Oh, and I'd also like to add that the information I am trying to get to the
3rd page in the example is sensitive (Credit Card details etc.), so $_GET
and $_COOKIE are out of the question.

ANY help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ben
