[RESOLVED] passing multiple variables

auddog

I have a form that I want to pass the 4 variable onto the next page. I'm not able to get the variables to the next page, but I'm able to echo them thru error check on my page.

I'm not sure if I understand how to do this, so I'm asking for a little help.

Here is my code:

<?php

if  (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {

  //Initialize error array
  $errors = array();

  //check for a QUANTITY
  if (empty($_POST['quantity'])) {
      $errors[] = 'You forgot the quantity.';
      }

  //check for a order number
  if (empty($_POST['order_num'])) {
      $errors[] = 'You forgot the order number.';
      }

  //check for a item number
  if (empty($_POST['item_num'])) {
      $errors[] = 'You forgot the item number.';
      }
  //check for a price
  if (empty($_POST['price'])) {
      $errors[] = 'You forgot the price.';
      }
    //Check for Total errors
    if(empty($errors)) {

  //transfer to another page as all fields are filled
  //echo $price;
  $price=$_POST['price'];
  echo $price;
  echo "<br />";
  $item_no=$_POST['item_num'];
  echo $item_no;
  $order_no=$_POST['order_num'];
   echo $order_no;
  $quantity=$_POST['quantity'];
   echo $quantity;

  header("Location: horiz_entry_sn.php");

//if - else $errors
} else {

//report the errors
echo '<h1>Error!</h1>The following error(s) occurred: <br /><p>';
foreach ($errors as $msg) {

//print the errors message
echo "- $msg<br />\n";
}

echo '<p><p>Please go back and try again</p></p>';
}

//if - else statement isset
} else {

?>
<script>
function toForm() {
document.horiz.quantity.focus();
}
</script>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Intranet</title>

<body onload="toForm()" BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"

<tr>
  <td width=100%><font size="2" face="ARIAL, SANS-SERIF">
  <p><strong>Quantity:</strong><br>
          <input type="text" name="quantity" size=50 maxlength=75>
  </p>
  <p><strong>Order Number:</strong><br>
          <input type="text" name="order_num" size=50 maxlength=75>
  </p>
  <p><strong>Item Number:</strong><br>
          <input type="text" name="item_num" size=50 maxlength=75>
  </p>
  <p><strong>Price:</strong><br>
          <input type="text" name="price" size=50 maxlength=75>
  </p>
  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td colspan="3">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td colspan="3"><div align="center">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
    <input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="true" />
  </div></td>

  </table>
<?php
}
?>

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Assuming this works well (from your script:


  $price=$_POST['price'];
  echo $price;

your variables arrive properly.

I suggest you put this for each variabl on top of the page:

$price=$_POST['price'];

Then you could test:

if($price = "")
{
$error[] = ...
}

etc.

It does not work at the moment, because you only retrieve them in cas eof errrors.

I decided to go with sessions to pass the variables. I was able to pass the variables that way.

Thanks for the help.
