submit form data twice!

[Anon]

HI!
i'm trying to get a form displayed, get some date entered into the form, then on the clicking of the submit button have it grab extra info from a database, have that data added to the first form's info, then have a "confirm" button submitting it all!

i can get it all sort of going except for the confirm bit submitting the data. How do i make the second submit button send the form action to another url ?

i'd paste my crappy code here, buts its long, if anyone has five secs to help me,i'd be gratefull..

cheers,

Steve

it would help if i could see the code but you could just use two of thes <form></form> in your code to make it easyer... like.

<form method="post" action="1.php">
<input type=submit value=1>
</form>
<form method="post" action="2.php">
<input type=submit value=2>
</form>

I'm not totally sure where you are going with this, but I think I know what you need. On your first form, I would open a session with the session_start() function. Register all of the inputed variables to the session. Create a page that the first forms sends to. (form action="new_page.php") Register any variables from the database to your session with the session_register() function.

At the end of this code use the header() function to send the page to your confirm page. At the top of your confirm page, user the session_start() function to open your session making all of your variables, both inputed from the first form, and taken from your database accesible. Then all you need to do is call the variables that you need on your confirm page and you're set. Don't forget to user the session_destroy() function when you are done. If you have any more questions about this just contact me at:

When the user submits the first form, create the verification page listing all of the information they entered as html so they can see it. At the bottom of the verification page, create another form, but this time you don't have any input capable fields, just <INPUT TYPE="hidden"> fields. Create a hidden field for each of the data elements you want passed on to the final script and then create a <SUBMIT VALUE="Confirm"> to send the whole kit and kabootle on.
