Strobel is correct, cURL is likely the way to go. Typically, the ideal way to go about it would be to modify the page that the form posts to (e.g. <form method="post" action="XXX"> - where XXX is what you want to pay attention to). For example, at the top of that script, you'd add something to the effect of:
<?php
// CONFIRM THAT POST DATA IS PRESENT
if (@!empty($_POST)) {
// DEFINE REMOTE URL TO POST TO
define("REMOTE_POSTURL", "http://second.site.com/scripts/example.php");
// GRAB AND FORMAT INCOMING POST DATA
foreach ($_POST as $pKey=>$pVal) { @$postData .= "$pKey=$pVal&"; }
// REMOVE TRAILING AMPERSANDS
$postData = rtrim($postData, "&");
// CREATE/INITIALIZE CURL
$ch = curl_init(REMOTE_POSTURL);
// SET VARIOUS OPTIONS
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
// FINALLY, EXECUTE REQUEST AND CLOSE HANDLE
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
}
?>
