Passing data

[focus310]

Hello:

I have the following scenario. An employee will enter their username and password and will be brought to an admin page.

On the admin page, there is a main menu. On the main menu, I have the following links: 30yr, 15yr, 5/1 ARM, 3/1 ARM. When she clicks, let's say, 30yr, it will bring her to a data entry form where she will the days new rates. When she completes the 30yr she clicks update, the table is updated, and is brought back to the main menu. At the main menu, she would select the 15yr and enter the rates and update. This would repeat for all programs.

I would like to have one data entry form for all the links not a seperate form each link. The form has to pass the rate information into a table along with the program which the rates are representing. Otherwise, I have a table with rates and not know which rate belongs to which program.

Does anyone have an idea what I can do to select the program I want, enter the rates for that program, and store both the rates and program into a table then be able to return to the main menu and select the next program and do the whole process over again?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Your post does not include a specific question but here is a general layout.

Mainmenu.php:

<h1>main menu</h1>
<a href="Form.php?type=30">30yr</a>
<a href="Form.php?type=51a">5/1 ARM</a>
<a href="Form.php?type=31a">3/1 ARM</a>
<?php
// stuff to check for form submit and process form info

// Stuff to build table
?>

Form.php:

<?php
$type = $_GET['type'];

switch ($type){
case "30":
    makeform(30,0);
break;
case "51a":
    makeform(5,1,"arm","red");
break;
case "31a":
    makeform(3,1,"arm","purple");
break;
}

function  makeform($period1,$period2,$loantype='std',$color='grey'){
// build form
// form submits back to Mainmenu.php (action="Mainmenu.php"
}
?>
