Two Forms, One Button? Help!

[epolnoff]

Hey guys,

 I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone here. I have a form that collects information from text input and I have another form that has the inputs preset. I need the form that collects text input to send the input via email and I need the preset inputs to be sent over to the new page that opens upon clicking the submit button. Currently, I have two seperate pages doing these tasks, but I want to combine them into one button. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

<!-- Text Input
<form method=POST action='/secure/post.php'>
<td><input class="formInput required" name='input' type='text' value="<?php echo $_POST["input"]; ?>"></td>
<td class='button'><input type=image name="submit" src="/images/now.gif"></td>
</form>
-->

<!-- Preset Inputs
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function callSubmit(){document.frmApplicationTermsCond.submit();}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="frmApplicationTermsCond" ACTION="https://www.geonlineapply.com/servlet/MCSGenericApp" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN name="MCSCLIENTTEST" value="N">
</FORM>
<a href="javascript:callSubmit()" class="rollover">Click Here</a>
-->

Have you looked at Sessions, You can set the session within the text box then recover the value on the next page. If you are unclear search phpbuilder as there are numerous examples, or Google your question.

I think what roscor is trying to say, is instead of using that second form with the preset options, use a session variable. You can set that and then reference it using $SESSION, just like $POST. Then you only need to deal with submitting one form.
