PHP form that does GET and Post

Question

I have a form that sends a SMS via Clickatell in accordance to their HTTP api

<form action="http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg" method="get">

This works, But I need to save the SMS I send to my SQL as well. I know to send I need to use method="post"

But then this will not get the number and text I want to send and send it.

How can I make it that it gets the info from the form and also post it to the SQL.

Presuming the form is 1.php and the submit to sql is 2.php

Answer 1

You could make the form post all of the data, and save your text in a database, then do a cURL call to the clickatell API afterwards. Google cURL get_page function for example on how to use cURL to load a page

Answer 2

I think you can use $_GET['variable_name']; in your 2.php

You can check form documentation here http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_get.asp

Answer 3

Use can use CURL function for more detail.. http://php.net/manual/en/curl.examples.php

and store $result in database,$result is an array so use (foreach) loop for fetch data and it also provide a response of ur api is success or fail.
