I know it could be done with Javascript, Curl or Snoopy class, but really

This is what ended up working to Submit Form to Multiple Hosts using one action.

I posted usual mail script then included code to post to second host using Curl.

Below is the actual code that worked with some minor tweaks, like not having to use 'extract'.

Found at (http://php.dzone.com/news/execute-http-post-using-php-cu):

//extract data from the post
extract($_POST);

//set POST variables
$url = 'http://domain.com/get-post.php';
$fields = array(
                        'lname'=>urlencode($last_name),
                        'fname'=>urlencode($first_name),
                        'title'=>urlencode($title),
                        'company'=>urlencode($institution),
                        'age'=>urlencode($age),
                        'email'=>urlencode($email),
                        'phone'=>urlencode($phone)
                );

//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string,'&');

//open connection
$ch = curl_init();

//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);

//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);

//close connection
curl_close($ch);
