Re: [PHP] php and forms question
Chip:
Sessions aren't my forte, but I can't see where you're registering your
session variables. You need to do more than simply use 'session_start' if
using sessions ...
perhaps you're doing this on another page, but if not you'll need to
register variables using 'session_register'. You'll also need 'session_id'
as far as I know.
The manual at www.php.net should fill you in some more,
and there are a couple of tutes out there as well (www.devshed.com has one
I think).

Hi Michael,
I have set up a couple test pages using session variable like
this:
---
?
session_start();
?
html
head
/head
body
?
if (isset($radars_form))
{
$products = $radars_form;
session_register( "products" );
print "pYour products have been registered/p";
}
?
form method=post
select name="radars_form[]" multiple size=6
optionRA772
optionRA40 Series
optionRA720
optionRA723
optionRA725
optionRA713
optionRadars General
/select
p /
input type="submit" value="choose"
/form
a href="autopilots_form.php"Next page/a
/body
/html
--
then the second page like this -
--
?
session_start();
?
html
head
/head
body
?
if (isset($autopilots_form))
{
$products = $autopilots_form;
session_register( "products" );
print "pYour products have been registered/p";
}
?
form method=post
select name="autopilots_form[]" multiple size=6
optionap11
optionap12/ap14
optionap20 series
optionap35
optionap45
optionap9mk3
optiontiller/wheel pilots
optionwp5000
/select
p /
input type="submit" value="choose"
/form
a href="plotters_form.php"Next page/a
/body
/html
---
and the last one like this
---
?
session_start();
print session_encode();
?
html
head
/head
body
?
if ( isset($autopilots_form))
{
print "Your choices:ol";
foreach ( $autopilots_form as $p )
print "li$p";
}
if ( isset($radars_form))
{
print "Your choices:ol";
foreach ( $radars_form as $p )
print "li$p";
}
?
a href="radars_form.php"back/a
/body
/html

The last won't work right because of the if statements.
How do I get it to print all the results? I tried adding
and between the if statements, but that doesn't work, as
I expected, I don't see anything in my php books that will
help with this bit. I want to be able to pick items from
all pages, and at the end print them to the screen and
email them to a person.
I welcome any help I can get,
Thanks

form_page3 - 5 input fields size=3

form_page10 has submit button
then the thankyou page with a list of the
items chosen on the previous pages.
These items will be brochures, the text-boxes
are for a quantity. Most people will only want
one but our authorized dealers can order as
many as they need, whence the need for the
size being 3 characters.
In the example in the book they use a drop-
down list, so only one item on the list can be
chosen, this won't work for me.
How do I store all the choices from each subsequent
page and bring them all together on the final page?
Thankyou,

Re: [PHP] php and forms question
One way to do this is to include information in hidden form fields that pass information along from page to page. If this is too unwieldy, you have session variables or writing information a database or file.
