Passing form values between multiple forms!!

AskMe · 09-01-2005, 10:17 AM

How to pass values of Form A to form B then to form C which will have values of form A and Form B.
I mean passing value between multiple form, using either PHP and JavaScript if possible. I tried with hidden field and variable, but it did not work for me. Here is my codes:

Code for Form A named f1.php

Code:

<form method="POST" action="f2.php">    Bank Name:<input type="text" name="bankname" size="20"></p>  <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" >  <input type="reset" value="Reset"></p></form>

Code for Form B name f2.php

Code:

<?php$bankname=$_POST['bankname'];echo $bankname;?><form method="POST" action="f3.php"><input type="hidden" name="bankname" value="'<?php $bankname ?>'">  Sender Name:<input type="text" name="sendername" size="20"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></form><?php echo $bankname;?>

Here is the code for Form C named f3.php

Code:

<?php$bankname=$_POST['bankname'];$sendername=$_POST['sendername'];echo $bankname;echo $Sendername;?><form method="POST" action="f4.php"><input type="hidden" name="bankname" value="'<?php $bankname ?>'"><input type="hidden" name="sendername" value="'<?php $sendername ?>'">  Receiver Name:<input type="text" name="receivername" size="20"></p><p><input type="submit" value="Submit"><input type="reset" value="Reset"></p><hr></form><?phpecho $bankname;echo $sendername; ?>

I tried to debug by echoing values, but still not working.

Please help me how to do it.
Sample of the form I am looking can be found at site:

Use code tags to make your script easier to read by others.
You can also look at the httpd logs for PHP errors. Typically /var/log/httpd/error_log

I do not see any obvious errors in your method but since it is somewhat difficult to read you might have PHP syntax errors. Again check the error_log.

Does the echo $bankname statement work i.e. do you see the variable you entered in form A?

on the second form you can print all the POST variables out like so :

PHP Code:



<?php 
       foreach($_POST as $k=>V) { 
              print "<h1>POST[$k]: $v</h1>"; 
       }

then see what variables are getting posted and which one aren't

When I pass from form A to Form B it passes correct values, but when I pass from form B to Form C, I get the following value

Code:

\\'\\'Alam

where Alam come from form B but form A value has changed to slashes only. Please advice me how to fix.

Thanks

when passing to B to C, You might have to make hidden values from the post of form A. OR another way is to start a session with session_start(); and use the $_SESSIO[] to pass between forms. If you go to php.net and lookup sessions there is tons of info about it. Good luck, let me know if this makes sense

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="bankname" value="'<?php $bankname ?>'">

You need to print the variable:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="bankname" value="'<?php echo $bankname; ?>'">

BTW with your code bankname='$bankname'. Do you really need the '''?
