[Resolved] Sending information with HTML form

TheBeginner

Hi everybody,

This is my problems:

1/ I send to variables ($town and $state) to a php-file. This file generate a HTML form and send the new information to another file. The thing is that I would like to send the old information to.
How to do it?
Should I alter this line someway:
"<form name="form2" method="get" action="kontroll2.php">"

2/ If I upload a GIF-file with a form and then send it to another file (the link), is it possible to control the file if it doesn't exceed the size of 50kb ?

I would really like some help. I really stuck! :=)

although i have tried hard to understand what you are really asking... i think i haven't got it, but i dare to answer.... 😛

you can send that "old variables" via form doing one of these things:

<form name=form2 method=post action=kontroll2.php?town=<?=$_POST['town']?>&state=<?=$_POST['state']?>>

i really encourage you to use POST method in your forms...
so it's better doing it using this:

<form name=form2 method=post action=kontroll2.php>
     <input type=text name=var>  <-----  whatever input fields you have---->
     <input type=hidden name=state value=<?=$_POST['state']?>>
     <input type=hidden name=town value=<?=$_POST['town']?>>
</form>

This way the "old variables" will be sent via form again transparently, the user don't notice it.

For the second question you may take a look at the manual in php.net, there is one section of uploading stuff.

Yes, You understood my question very well. It was that I was looking for, but after I tried and tried this code you pass on to me didn't seem to work. The variables isn't there when I want to print them to the screen in the next php-file.

I changed:

.....value=<?=$_POST['state']?>>

to:

value=<?=$state?>>

and now it works. Thanks for all help!
