Page Need to pass calculated value to redirect page

[JCCDEVEL]

Hi All,

I'm trying to do the following:

1) ON a php page, calculate fees based upon user entires. I'm calculating it in a javascript function and that is working well. However, I need to take that calculated amount and pass it to a new page on redirect. something like this:

[PHP] <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.pagename.com/v3/payment_pg.php?FeeCalcTotal=" & chargetotal& " " >[/PHP]

"chargetotal" is set as a hidden variable like this:

[PHP]<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="chargetotal" value = "">[/PHP]

and I am attempting to set it in my javascipt function like this:

FeeCalcTotal = (Witness1Fee  + Witness2Fee  + Witness3Fee  + Witness4Fee)* Discount;
 
document.form1.chargetotal.value = FeeCalcTotal 

Two things are happening when the submit button is pressed. First, this happens:

[PHP]<form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi/formmail">[/PHP]

Then, the redirect happens

Am I doing this correctly? I'm used to doing this sort of thing on web pages that live on our own servers - this is for somebody's individual website.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Happy Friday!

No PHP in sight! This thread belongs in the HTML/JavaScript forum. So I will move it there.

Are you redirecting to http://www.pagename.com/v3/payment_pg.php?FeeCalcTotal=chargetotal in the end of the PHP code of /cgi/formmail/index.php ?

Hi,
This is the block that has all the form actions:

 
 <form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi/formmail">
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="AttyName, AttyStreet, AttyCity, AttyState, AttyPhone">
       <input type="hidden" name="missing_fields_redirect" value="http://www.website.com/v3/fail.php">
             <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="PrivateSummons">
                <input type="hidden" name="email" value="Email">
                <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="[e-mail]"/>
        <input TYPE="hidden" NAME="chargetotal" value = "">
 
        <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.website.com/v3/payment_pg.php?FeeCalcTotal=" & fees& " " >

So, things should happen when "Submit" happens, 1) a post to ="/cgi/formmail and then a redirect to payment_pg with the value passed to that page somehow

Thanks!

Add this to the end of your PHP in cgi/formmail/
[php]header("Location: ".$_POST['redirect'].$_POST['chargetotal']);[/php]

That is how much I could understand your problem.

Thanks for your input. Forgive my struggle with this, but this is completely out of my comfort zone and am trying to help a friend. So, it should like this?:

[PHP] <form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi/formmail" header("Location: ".$_POST['redirect'].$_POST['chargetotal']);
>[/PHP]

Then I assume I will need to add a "GET" to the payment page?

Ok... Leave everything apart, tell me the whole story first, what you actually want to do.

I'll try to recapitulate.

You have a form that must be submitted (using POST) to "/cgi/formmail", passing the required values in hidden fields with a prescribed name.

This formmail function gets the form with the hidden fields in its $_POST array. It will pprocess the values from the $_POST array and redirect them to the site of which the name is stored in hidden field 'redirect'.

I guess that will work. The question is if the JavaScript calculated amount is correctly stored in the value of the hidden form field 'chargetotal'.

Does that sum it up?

OK, we'll start over.....

This site is a place for a customer to enter certain information to request services. The services have fees associated with them and they are based upon location. So, I have a bunch of Javascript that grabs the inputted city values and ends up calculating one fee amount (this is working fine).

When the customer clicks submit, three things should happen:
1) javscript calculation is performed (working)
2) calculation is stored in a hidden variable (might be working)
3) there is a method post to /cgi/formmail
4) there is a redirect to payment_pg.php page. The javascript calculation amount needs to be carried over to this page somehow

So, I think i have 2 issues - a) assiging the calculated value to a variable and b) sending that variable to the next page

Hope this is a little clearer!

Hi Ronald,

I'm skeptical about the 'chargetotal' field as well. I am assigning it in Javascript and used an 'alert" to see if it displayed the value. It does, but I'm not sure it works on the form itself

She actually wants the values posted to the payment_pg.php page

Thanks,
