How to display form variables?

[Leszek]

Hi.

I have two forms each in different file user need to fill both one after
another.

Is it possible to display variables from both forms at the end?

does $_POST contains variables from both forms?

If not what is the way to display variables from previous form?

Thanks.

You have to put the variable from your first form into hidden-fields in
the second one.

you could do it by moving the 1st POST variables into a SESSION variable.
then jsut adding the second forms post to the session untill all forms are
done. then just display everything stored in the session at the end. im not
sure if session variables can contain arrays but if they can you could store
each form in an array , that would make it easier.

Yes, that works, too, but you can have problems when validating the site
and users may see the session-id.

Thats works! $_SESSION itself is an array.

session variables is the way to go.

also, google some tutorials. remember, you also need to unset your
sessions variables when you longer want them to have a value.

to answer yor question, $_POST holds the variable(s) from the prior
submitted page only. if a page is submitted again, or another link is
followed, that prior $_POST data is gone.

a: return them in a hidden fields of the second form
or
b: $_SESSION

Session variables can be arrays just like any other php variable, there
is no problem with the Session array being multi-dimensional, as long
as you are happy to write the logic to extract what you want from it :)

I think IE forces you to repost the data almost if you do a refresh. the
only thing that it doesn't completely work in is a file upload.
