Gotta give some more info, such as:

do you want validation for the first form to be performed within the first form?

is the name of the second form dependent on input of the first form?

do you want to pass information from the first to the second form using GET or via SESSION variables?

Hi ... thanks for the reply ..

Gotta give some more info, such as:

do you want validation for the first form to be performed within the first form?

No, i don´t need validation data for the first form ...maybe for the second form in some fields

is the name of the second form dependent on input of the first form?

No, i just need to continue filling fields

do you want to pass information from the first to the second form using GET or via SESSION variables?

i use post in my forms, but if you think using get is ok thanks a lot ...

Thanks a lot again !
:D

I really don't understand why you would want to have a 2-part form, but the following shows how you could do this. I used a HTML file for the first one, since there is no PHP involved.

[PHP]
FORM1.HTML code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Testit</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform1" action="form2.php" method="POST">
Enter value for form 1 <input type="text" name="field1" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit form1" />
<input type="hidden" name="_submit1" value="1" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

FORM2.PHP code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['_submit2'])) { // called from this script
// validate $_POST['field2'] etc.
// do whatever you want to with that data
echo 'submit=2' . $_POST['field2']; // just for your test
}
elseif (isset($_POST['_submit1'] )) { // called from form1
// validate $_POST['field1'] etc.
echo 'submit=1' . $_POST['field1']; // just for your test
// display form2
?>
<form name="myform2" action="form2.php" method="POST">
Enter value for form 2 <input type="text" name="field2" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit form2" />
<input type="hidden" name="_submit2" value="1" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>[/PHP]

The echo's are there just for the test.
Hope this is what you meant, though I can't think why.

form2: start a session.
in '_submit1' processing:
save the field1 variable in the session
display form2

in '_submit2' processing:
build your email message with field1 and field2
send the email

That's it.

You could do it that way but transferring hidden fields works also choose your way and good luck.
