你如何使用PHP来复制表单字段？

Question

I currently have a clients landing page set up so that it posts any new signups to Salesforce. The information primarily goes through to my own system which requires specific form field id's. Salesforce also requires specific form field id's. To do this I have created a second set of form fields that are hidden, and I'm using javascript to set the value of the hidden fields to the same as the visible ones. The only problem with this is that if javascript isn't enabled on the end-users browser, then most of the information doesn't go through to Salesforce.

Is there an alternative way of doing this in PHP? I'm not an expert with PHP, and my thinking was to post the data to an interrupt page, echo the value of the visible fields in the hidden fields, and then use a header redirect to go to the normal script.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I wont show you the form as I'm aware you already have one set up

But here is how I would approach this using cURL

$url = 'http://salesforceurl.here';
$post_data = "first_name={$_POST['fname']}&last_name={$_POST['lname']}&email={$_POST['email']}&phone={$_POST['telephone']}&country={$_POST['country']}&description={$_POST['comments']}";

$ch = curl_init( $url );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$response = curl_exec( $ch );
