multi-form variables

I have read quite a few posts and can't seem to find the answer to my
question. I need to be able to pass from fields to PHP from severel
different forms on a page. I have had to create multiple forms
because I am dynamically adding and subtracting form elememts of
various types in javascript based on user activity. My problem now is
getting all of these different form fields to PHP so I can write them
to MySQL. I am open to any suggestions and will try using cookies,
javascript arrays, hidden form fields, or whatever it takes. The only
drawback is I have to use multiple forms so combining forms is not an
option.

Only if they have the same name.

Maybe (I don't know JavaScript) you can pull all values from all forms
when you click a "submit" and put them in hidden fields of another form
and POST _that_ form to PHP.

The only
drawback is I have to use multiple forms so combining forms is not an
option.


try this:

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD '] == 'POST') {
echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST) ; echo '</pre>';
}
echo <<<HTML
Form1:
<form name="form1" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="both" value="both"/>
<input type="hidden" name="oneonly" value="oneonly"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
<br/><hr/><br/>
Form2:
<form name="form2" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="both" value="both"/>
<input type="hidden" name="twoonly" value="twoonly"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
HTML;
?>
When you submit the first form you'll be able to access $_POST['both']
and $_POST['oneonly'], but not $_POST['twoonly'].

Likewise for submitting the second form -- no $_POST['oneonly'].

You must not use multiple forms.

Why do you think you have to?

You may want to take a look at this class. It passes fields between
pages using just hidden fields.

I have multi-page tiff files. I need to extract individual frames from the multi-page tiffs and save them as single-page tiffs. 95% of the time I receive multi-page tiffs containing 1 or more black and white CCITT4 compressed files (frames) inside the tiff. Every now and then I receive a mixture of black and white CCITT4 and JPEG compressed files, and sometimes just multi-page tiffs with JPEG only. The code runs great when dealing with the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
