OK gang, here's the deal.

I've got a form that's displayed to the user by my script and then is POSTed back onto the same script so it can parse the form data into usable variables.

That's fine and dandy.

What I can't figure out is how to get the script to take that info, in addition to some other info, and then send a GET to a different server and have the result come back to the user. So the user thinks they're getting the result to their original form submission when there was really an intermediate GET they didn't see. Any ideas?

Also, I'm working in an environment where I have no control over the server or any of it's components (college), so any solutions NOT involving installation of modules and the like would be best. Thanks guys.
