How to send the same data into multiple forms using php?

Question

I'm writing a php file that can send the same form data to different urls on different servers.

<?php 
$urls = array("some_url_num1.php", "some_url_num2.php", "some_url_num3.php");
foreach ($urls as $url) {
echo '<form action="'.$url.'" method="post">
Time From: <br> <input type="text" name="timefrom"><br>
Time to: <br><input type="text" name="timeto"><br>
Password: <br> <input type="password" name="password"><br>
<input type="submit"><br></form>';
}
?>

Currently there are 3 forms on the page, and the user needs to enter the same data (timefrom, timeto, password) three times in order to get the result from some_url_num1.php, some_url_num2.php, some_url_num3.php.

Is there anyway, using php, to let the user enter only once, and get the result from the three .php files?

This is just bad design and will result in the users not actually using this thing. — developerwjk

Thanks for asking @Daniel. Those files are not on the same server. This is an one time script that needs to access around 100 urls. I'd like to use this script to make the process as faster & convenient as possible. — Yolanda

I'm creating a customized sales report which needs to access the 100 magento sites (100 urls). Using magento backend > report is very slow, so I am writing a file to make it faster. I've already figured it out :) — Yolanda

Create a single form
Collect data in a single php file
From that php file, send user submitted data to other urls using curl

For CURL details you can refer PHP manual
