Sending to a results form

I have an input form, How do I send the results to a whole new "results" page?

What do you mean by results page? and what do you mean by input form? What does the form have inputted into it? Do you want the information that is inputted by the input form to be displayed on another page?

Please be specific and code examples go a long way into helping us to help you.

I have a form that asks for the information, I have php make the calculations on the input (numbers), now I want to output the calculations to a new page.

OK, I'll take a stab at this:

If your form has two elements in it:

<form method=post action='page2.php'>
<input type=text name=cost >
<input type=text name=tax>
<input type=submit name=submit>
</form>

then page2.php will have two variables, $cost and $tax (case sensitive) with the values the user entered. If the user enters $100.00 in cost and 8.25% in tax, as far as page2.php is concerned, there is no difference between the form and simply declaring:

$cost = '100.00';
$tax = '8.25';

If you wanted to do anything with the data you could go:

$totalAmt = $cost*($tax/100);
echo $totalAmt;

which would of course yield $108.25 in this case.

If you want to refer only to the form values you can use $HTTP_POST_VARS['cost'] and $HTTP_POST_VARS['tax'] as well, as the $HTTP_POST_VARS is an array containing only the form element values.

Hope this answered your question.

Thank you all for your help. I was making it much harder than it really was.
