||||| How to Pass a variable from .htm -> .php -> .php

Gary_Kambic

Hello,

I've been struggling with this all morning. I have a *.htm page w/ form method="POST" action="../schedule.php and <input type=hidden name="listing" . . .

The post action is for schedule.php. The "$listing" variable with the information makes it that far. Inside this php script I have another form action that calls schedule_appointment.php. I want to pass the $listing variable information with the same name from schedule.php to the schedule_appointment.php script.

Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,

Gary

Put the passed field into a hidden field ( <input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php print ($_POST['name']); ?>" />

That'll pass it to the next form... unless I'm mistaken in understanding what you're trying to do...

Why not combine the 2 scripts, say by including schedule_appointment.php as needed on schedule.php ?

I inserted the code you gave me and the result is still blank (listing) when I check the source after execution of schedule.php. As you can see in schedule.php I echo the $listing variable so I know it's getting from information.htm to schedule.php.

If you want to try it the link is:

hit schedule appointment.

I like the idea of combining the two scripts but for now I just want to get it working. Unless it's pretty straight forward.

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks everyone.

Hey everyone,

As I worked with the script in production mode I discovered a slight problem.

Remember we (Kevin) fixed the problem with the address disappearing when someone updated the calendar month. Well that works fine but when someone submits the form and has left a field blank, I receive the error page OK, but when I click the RETURN hyperlink, the address disappears once again. I guess I need to pass the $listing variable back to calling page like we did with the calendar. I tried to insert the code that Kevin had me place in schedule.php into schedule_appointment.php which is the called php page that generates the error RETURN hyperlink. It didn't work, as the listing address is blank when I return to the schedule.php.

Would appreciate any advice, Gary.

Here are the links:

http://www.tnevni.com/remax/4_timber_ridge_lane/information.php

Click "Schedule Appointment",
Leave fields blank,
Click "Submit Form",
Click "Click here to retturn to Schedule Page"
The address is blank

<?php
$listing = $_POST['listing'];
echo $listing;
?>

Here is a section of the code for schedule_appointment.php:

if (($visitormail) == "" || ($visitor) == "" || ($visitorphone) == "")
{
$listing = $_POST['listing'];
echo $listing;

echo "INFORMATION FIELD IS BLANK" . "<BR><BR>\n" . "Please RE-ENTER Information Field . . ." . "<br><br>\n" ;
echo "    " . ">  Use BACK Button to return to SCHEDULE Page  (Field Entry Information will be RETAINED)" . "<br><br>\n" ;
echo "    >  " . "<a href=\"" . $subredirectlink . "\">Click here to return to SCHEDULE Page (Field Entry Information will be RESET)</a>";

exit;
}
elseif (preg_match("/^{.*@tnevni.com$/i",} ($visitormail)))
{
$listing = $_POST['listing'];
echo $listing;

echo "YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS MUST BE UNIQUE" . "<BR><BR>\n" . "Please Re-Enter Your E-Mail Address . . ." . "<br><br>\n" ;
echo "    " . ">  Use BACK Button to return to SCHEDULE Page  (Field Entry Information will be RETAINED)" . "<br><br>\n" ;
echo "    >  " . "<a href=\"" . $subredirectlink . "\">Click here to return to SCHEDULE Page  (Field Entry Information will be RESET)</a>";

exit;
}
?>
