Submitting the results of multiple forms

Anon

Hi all

I'm having difficulity submitting the variables from 2 forms in one query string.

This is address after form 1 submit button is clicked:
http://webserver/search?minage=18&maxage=99

and the address I want after the second page is submitted is:
http://webserver/search?minage=18&maxage=99$FirstName=John&LastName=Brown

Here is a simplified example of the code I have in both forms (the actual code has many and varying amounts of variables). I also need to use the GET method.

Form 1
<form method=GET name=custom_search action="/search.php">

Form 2
<?php
$Form1Vars = $QUERY_STRING;
?>
<form method=GET name=custom_search action="/search.php<?echo("$Form1Vars");?>">

</Form>

Thanks for you help in advance.

couldn't you try to input the passed variables in the form as hidden elements?

and otherwise, what does the program do? what goes wrong? what is the output it generates now?

Use hidden form fields.

Form 1
<form method=GET name=custom_search action="/search.php">

Form 2
<form method=GET name=custom_search action="/search.php">
<input type=hidden name=minage value="<?echo $minage;?>">
<input type=hidden name=maxage value="<?echo $maxage;?>">
<input type=text name=FirstName size=32 maxlength=32> to <input type=text name=LastName size=32 maxlength=32>

</Form>

If your first form contains varying fields, rather than hard-code the <input type=hidden> tags, I suggest looping through the $HTTP_GET_VARS array. You can use foreach() if you're running php4:

<?
foreach ($HTTP_GET_VARS as $key=>$val) {
print "<input type=hidden name='$key' value='$val'>";
}
?>

Then all of your input from the first form should get passed along.
