[RESOLVED] help anyone regarding forms

kingdm

Good day/evening everyone,

I'm doing a registration form for my website. It happens that I want my registration to be in 4 steps. Step 1 - Login details, Step 2 - Personal Details, Step 3 - Optional Details, Step 4 - Summary.

I want to know what would be my algorithm here regarding using the POST, how can i pass the variables in Step 1 - to be carried in Step 2? or something like that...

Thanks..

you should save the inputted values into $_SESSION till you use them.

I had the same issues, and I used NogDog's suggestions here and it works just like he suggests.

This should help you out, thanks to NogDog.

thanks for the reply.

@dmacman

i see that we have the same case based on the link you post, but i have a question what does your every form contains? the one you require_once in that if -else php pages.

there are many ways to make pages in forms.
you can build the forms woth functions, and save the inputs into session.
form and confirm and multiple page...

If you are referring to the form1_processor.php and form2_processor.php, they check that the POST data required is completed.

This code takes the selections from form1 and lets you pass to form2 if you selected the required fields. (form2 has a set of fields that are dynamic based on form1's choices.

IE, on my form1 you select the videos you used (for a teachers form), then on form2 it has you rate them and comment on them, so form2 needs the answers form form1 to build form2.

You could use Javascript validation on the forms, instead of the _processor.php pages, but I chose php to make my own error code (from NogDogs examples).

Does that help/make sense?
