Tutorials Support > Tutorials > AutoSubmitForms
With the latest release of ZAP, I added a markup which allows you to auto submit ZAP forms. As soon as the page is loaded, the specified ZAP form is submitted, the ZAP engine is called, and any session variables associated with that form are processed. POST values are not processed.
Suppose for example you wanted to set up a page that verified a members email address (changing the status to verified) that they could trigger by simply clicking on a specified url. This snippet could do that (Member would be passed in the link as a GET variable) and then forward them to another page saying Thank You!
(:zapget:)
(:zapform:)
(:zap status="verified":)
(:zap datapage="Profiles.{$Member}":)
(:zap nextpage="Main.ThankYou":)
(:zap savedata="status":)
(:zapsubmit:)
Note: the markup is not processed if action=edit (to make saving changes possible), nor if nextpage is not set to some other page (to prevent endless loops). You can also suspend processing by setting action=stop in the URL.
