Passing PHP variables across pages

[dnbmadness]

Hi guys,

I've been going crazy over this and I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm making a website for a friend and I'm stuck on sending the make and model over to the contact page (from one form to another).

Here is the website : www.ipgetter.com/test

I have successfully posted the Make variable to the contact us page, but I can't get the model sent over (because the select boxes have different names).

Example:

<select class="form-dropdown" style="width:150px" id="input_2" name="[COLOR="Red"]q2_make[/COLOR]">
            <option selected="selected" value="Alfa Romeo"> Alfa Romeo </option>
            <option value="Aston Martin"> Aston Martin </option>
            <option value="Audi"> Audi </option>
            <option value="Bently"> Bently </option>
            <option value="BMW"> BMW </option>
            <option value="Chevrolet"> Chevrolet </option>
            <option value="Chrysler"> Chrysler </option>
            <option value="Citroen"> Citroen </option>
            <option value="Ferrari"> Ferrari </option>
            <option value="Fiat"> Fiat </option>
            <option value="Ford"> Ford </option>
            <option value="Honda"> Honda </option>
            <option value="Hyundai"> Hyundai </option>
            <option value="Infiniti"> Infiniti </option>
            <option value="Isuzi"> Isuzi </option>
            <option value="Jaguar"> Jaguar </option>
            <option value="Jeep"> Jeep </option>
            <option value="Kia"> Kia </option>
            <option value="Lamborghini"> Lamborghini </option>
            <option value="Land Rover"> Land Rover </option>
            <option value="Lexus"> Lexus </option>
            <option value="Lotus"> Lotus </option>
            <option value="Maserati"> Maserati </option>
            <option value="Mazda"> Mazda </option>
            <option value="Mclaren"> Mclaren </option>
            <option value="Mercedes-Benz"> Mercedes-Benz </option>
            <option value="MG"> MG </option>
            <option value="Mini"> Mini </option>
            <option value="Mitsubishi"> Mitsubishi </option>
            <option value="Nissan"> Nissan </option>
            <option value="Peugeot"> Peugeot </option>
            <option value="Porsche"> Porsche </option>
            <option value="Renault"> Renault </option>
            <option value="Rolls-Royce"> Rolls-Royce </option>
            <option value="Seat"> Seat </option>
            <option value="Skoda"> Skoda </option>
            <option value="Smart"> Smart </option>
            <option value="Ssangyong"> Ssangyong </option>
            <option value="Subaru"> Subaru </option>
            <option value="Suzuki"> Suzuki </option>
            <option value="Toyota"> Toyota </option>
            <option value="Vauxhall"> Vauxhall </option>
            <option value="Volkswagen"> Volkswagen </option>
            <option value="Volvo"> Volvo </option>
            <option value="Other"> Other </option>
          </select>

Which is fine because it only has one name="q2_make" value but the model selects have more than 1.

<li class="form-line" id="id_3">
        <label id="label_3" for="input_3"></label>
        <div id="cid_3" class="form-input">
          <select class="form-dropdown" style="width:150px" id="input_3" name="[COLOR="Red"]q3_model[/COLOR]">
            <option selected="selected" value="147"> 147 </option>
            <option value="159"> 159 </option>
            <option value="8C"> 8C </option>
            <option value="Breva"> Breva </option>
            <option value="Giulietta"> Giulietta </option>
            <option value="Mito"> Mito </option>
            <option value="Other"> Other </option>
          </select>
        </div>
      </li>
      <li class="form-line" id="id_4">
        <label id="label_4" for="input_4"></label>
        <div id="cid_4" class="form-input">
          <select class="form-dropdown" style="width:150px" id="input_4" name="[COLOR="Red"]q4_model4[/COLOR]">
            <option selected="selected" value="Cygnet"> Cygnet </option>
            <option value="DB9"> DB9 </option>
            <option value="DBS"> DBS </option>
            <option value="Rapide"> Rapide </option>
            <option value="Vantage"> Vantage </option>
            <option value="Virage"> Virage </option>
            <option value="Other"> Other </option>
          </select>
        </div>
      </li>

My question is, how can I send the users selected model over to the contact page form when there are more than one select boxes?

Do you mean how you post and process variables?: http://www.bio-vision.nl/coding/post_syntax

my suggestion would really be not to add those options manually
instead load all the available options into an array and then once you loaded it
you pull it back using something like

$tmp = $_POST['q2_make'];

hope I understood correctly what you asked

Thanks for your suggestion, I used an array and it works.
