directly input textarea to next textarea

Anon

HI,

Does anybody know how to directly input first page's texarea file into next page's textarea using PHP? Do it need special Javascript code exception like following?

My codes followed:

First page's partial code:

<FORM ACTION=seq.php METHOD=POST >
Cut and paste sequence:
<BR>
<TEXTAREA NAME="$sequence" " ROWS=6 COLS=80></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME="$sequence" >
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=" RUN " >

</FORM>

Next page's code:

After I hit run button, next page's textarea is blank.

Thanks,
HP

<FORM ACTION='seq.php' METHOD=POST >
Cut and paste sequence:

 <TEXTAREA NAME="$sequence" " ROWS=6 COLS=80></TEXTAREA>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME="$sequence" >
 <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="  RUN " >

</FORM>

What is wrong is the way you name your textarea. Remove the "$" and the PHP-variable "sequence" will be created for you when you submit the FORM. And get rid of the hidden field called "sequence" too. You already have a "sequence"-field and there's no need for special "tricks" anyway ... s

On the First page you have NAME="$sequence"

This should be just NAME="sequence" (without the dollarsign).

After hitting run, it aotumaticly passes these variables to the next page,

In the VALUE field (which you don't have on the next page) you need to use <? echo $sequence ?>

FYI: The "value"-attribute is not used with textareas. Instead you place your contents between the textarea-tags like this :

.. or like this :

<?php
// this "script" just needs a Submit-button and you'd have a really good application! lol
echo "<textarea name='sequence'>$sequence</textarea><br>\n";
?>
