Passing Values from multiple forms to another page

[Afshan]

Hi All,

Have a problem with Passing Values from multiple forms to another page.

Two pages are page1.php and page2.php.

page1.php has two forms as follows:

<form name="frmBusInf" action="page2.php" method=POST>

Name: <input name="busName" type="text" value="" size="45">

</form>

<form name="frmBusUpdate3" action="page2.php" method=POST>

Phone: <input name="busPhone" type="text" size="58" value="">

<input type="submit" name="Add" value="Update">
</form>

Now how do I get both field values in the next page after clicking submit button?

There's no way to do it with PHP, in fact form submissions have nothing to do with PHP, it's a function of HTTP protocol. All you can do is use Javascript, or combine the forms into one form.

Why use two forms?
page1.php

<form name="frmBusInf" action="page2.php" method=POST>
Name: <input name="busName" type="text" value="" size="45">
Phone: <input name="busPhone" type="text" size="58" value=""> 
<input type="submit" name="Add" value="Update">
</form>

page2.php

$busName=$_POST['busName'];
$busPhone=$_POST['busPhone'];

echo $busName;
echo "<br>";
echo $busPhone;
