The solution must assume that I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS to the first script (from which the form is posted). Obviously if I assume access to the script, I wouldn't be doing it this way anyway, it is very inefficient. While the example script is located on my server, this is just to show what I am trying to achieve.
I have received a solution that should work (thank-you Hartmut). I am going to test it shortly.
