I have a form with some drop down list/menus.
I do a check for ommissions and if found display a message to re-try.
What I need is a way to show which options where chosen when the user submitted the form the first time.
If someone could show me how to do the first one, I'm sure it's the same process for the second one.
Here's the code...
<?php session_start();
$number_drivers = '';
$number_vehicles = '';
$error = array();
// read somewhere to set session variables to nothing at beginning
$_SESSION['number_drivers'] = $number_drivers;
$_SESSION['number_vehicles'] = $number_vehicles;
if (array_key_exists('step_two', $_POST)) {
// continue to step two button clicked
// get input and check for errors
if (empty($_POST['number_drivers'])) {
$error['number_drivers'] = 'Please enter the number of drivers';
}
if (empty($_POST['number_vehicles'])) {
$error['number_vehicles'] = 'Please enter the number of vehicles';
}
if (!$error) {
// store input to session variables
$_SESSION['number_drivers'] = $_POST['number_drivers'];
$_SESSION['number_vehicles'] = $_POST['number_vehicles'];
// go to step two
session_write_close();
header('Location: http://localhost/btracy_auto_quotes_2.php');
exit;
}
}
?>
