Alternatively, if you want I guess you GET query strings and just have PHP go out and snag a URL. > That's what I thought. I just wondered if I could push the POST_VARS > afterwards somehow.

What you do is have the script read all the post vars, and then send them to all the remote servers via a script, using the classes mentioned in the previous post. > I am not very familiar with JavaScript, but unless I am mistaken, Submit > requires an onClick event...? No, Submit doesn't require an onClick, but does require an event--it could just as easily be 'onLoad'. But that is a poor mans way of doing this project... I assume you were thinking of buliding a ton of hidden form variables, and rotate out the action variable on the form and then submit to each remote web server. That's not the best way to do it because of a couple reasons: 1) Its all client side, and you'll have to deal with browser support issues. 2) It is dependent on the user's connection, not the server's. 3) Its a hack.
