Multiple form post in one php file pb

legeay

Hi,

I'am looking for help about a PHP/FORM coding problem :
I try to use the same php file to generate several different forms and using POST method. For example, the client must get date and time on the first page, click on NEXT to validate, getting a secong page to fill a comment field, click to NEXT to validate ... AND ALL OF THAT INSIDE ONLY ONE PHP FILE, USING $step as variable to generate first or second page.

My problem is : at the step 2 (second page), i can display information form the first page's form. but at the step 3 (third page), form's field form the second page's form are empty !

Any solution or impossible !

Thanks

yie,
why don't pass parametrs in javascript code?
i.e
addr_site?var = $var.

The easiest thing to do is store the vars from the forms in hidden tags in the next form and so on.
<input type="hidden" name="varname" value="$value">

So when you press submit in the second form the values will be in the hidden tags, and be sent to the third on.....and so on....

Thanks for all your prompt answers,

Of course i can do that by javascript but some fields are blob type (ie big text). So, line could be to long no ? that's why i prefere POST method (no output on the URL) and for security reason.

But my real problem that i cannot read any field about a second form submitted in the same PHP ! Even if i use any hidden input !

Is there a limitation of PHP and Forms ?

Hi
I have got the same problem as you and also no solution. I wrote my problem half an hour after you in the coding archiv.
"exchange of var between php and html"
It seems, there is no soluition to transport arrays between forms? But I cannot beleive it.

have youi got further information about this problem? Please let me now it.

sincerly
