Don't think it can be done... at least not the way you describe. *maybe* it
can be done with javascript, but I'd try to do it this way:
1. user completes form, clicks submit
2. your scripts don't send any output to the browser (ie, it's not a page,
it's a script), generate the auto-responders, whatever else, and redirect to
the other script.
3. other script takes the data, does what it does, and user gets a response
in the browser.
You will probably run into trouble with this because the second form
requires information to be sent by POST method... I think the CURL library
can do this for you, or else, it's been discussed on this list 1000's of
times. Search the archives.
