PHP - I Need Help Passing Form Variables To A Second Page.
Hello all,
I'm new to php and I'm running into some trouble. I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. Here is the code I already have: <?php include "include/dbc.php"; include "include/header.inc"; ?> <style type="text/css"> .mydate{ color:#00F; text-decoration:underline; cursor:pointer; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> function displayDate(d){ var date=new Date(); var D=date.getDate(); date.setDate(D+d); var YYYY=date.getFullYear(); var MM=date.getMonth()+1; MM<10?MM='0'+MM:null; var DD=date.getDate(); DD<10?DD='0'+DD:null; var span=document.getElementById('date'); span.innerHTML= 'Entries for '+MM+'/'+DD+'/'+YYYY; } onload=function(){displayDate(0)}; </script> <h1>Food Diary</h1> <div class="full"> <center><div><span class="mydate" onclick="displayDate(-1)"><img src="images/left_arrow.png" border="0">Yesterday</span> <span id="date" style="font-size:2em;"></span> <span class="mydate" onclick="displayDate(1)">Tomorrow<img src="images/right_arrow.png" border="0"></span></div><br /> <a href="#" onclick="displayDate(0);return false;">Today</a> </center> <div class="full"> <form name="exercise" id="exercise" method="GET" action=""> <center><table> <tr> <td><h3>Add an Activity</h3></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="NewSearchString" style="width: 100px" type="text"/> <input type="submit" value="Search" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <select name="activity"> <option value="_">Activity Browse...</option> <option value="all">All Activities</option> <option value="biking">Biking</option> <option value="condition">Conditioning</option> <option value="dancing">Dancing</option> <option value="fish">Fishing & Hunting</option> <option value="Home">Home Activities</option> <option value="misc">Miscellaneous</option> <option value="music">Music Playing</option> <option value="occupation">Occupation</option> <option value="running">Running</option> <option value="sports">Sports</option> <option value="walking">Walking</option> <option value="water">Water Activities</option> <option value="winter">Winter Activities</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td></tr></table></center></form> </td> </tr> </table> </center> <table width="100%"> <tr bgcolor="#66CC33"> <td><div>Activity</div></td> <td><div>Specific Activity</div></td> <td><div>Time (hh:mm)</div></td> <td><div>Distance</div></td> <td><div>Units</div></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#66CC33"> <td><div></div></td> <td><div></div></td> <td><div></div></td> <td><div class="Float"></div></td> <td class="cp_Distance"><div></div></td> </tr> <?php if(isset($_GET[activity])) { $category=$_GET[activity]; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM exercise WHERE type='$category'"); ?> <form action="add_activity.php" method="post"> <?php while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo '<tr><td><div>'.$row[Type].'</div></td>'; echo '<td><div>'.$row[Name].'<input type="hidden" name="exerciseid" value="'.$row[No].'"></div></td>'; echo '<td><div><input type="text" name="duration"></div></td>'; echo '<td><div><input type="text" name="distance"></div></td>'; echo '<td><div><select> <option value="mile">mile</option> <option value="Km">km</option> <option value="M">m</option> <option value="Yard">yrd</option> <option value="Feet">ft</option> </select></div></td></tr>'; } mysql_close(); ?> <tr><td colspan="6" align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Activities"></td></tr> </form> <?php } ?> <tr bgcolor="#66CC33"> <td><div></div></td> <td><div></div></td> <td><div></div></td> <td><div class="Float"></div></td> <td class="cp_Distance"><div></div></td> </tr></table> This code is supposed to pull info from a database and place it in a table. Once the user clicks the add activities button at the bottom, there values are supposed to be passed and displayed in the second page. Here's what I have for the second page: <?php include "include/dbc.php"; include "include/header.inc"; $activity = $_POST['activity']; $exercise = $_POST['exercise']; $duration = $_POST['duration']; $distance = $_POST['distance']; echo $exercise; echo $duration; echo $distance; ?> (Keep in mind that I am using this code to test the functionality of the page before I make it look nice) When I pass the values to the 2nd page, I get a black screen. Nothing is passing and I don't know why. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there something I need to do to make the code better? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance. Similar TutorialsI have a php script which is viewed with ajax. The script does some important things and I want to make sure that it's viewed by only the ajax and now the user so I was thinking I'd need to pass a code from the main page using a GET in either php or more likely javascript, as I don't want the user to be able to see the code and then be able to just copy it and view the script with it. I've tried to sort this by saving Math.random() to the database by using ajax using a separate file, then underneath it use it to access the file like this: Code: [Select] function saveCode() { var xmlHttp = connect(); if(xmlHttp != false) {var code = Math.random(); xmlHttp.open('GET', '/inc/battle/saveCode.php?i='+code, true); xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if(xmlHttp.readyState == 4) { battleLog = xmlHttp.responseText; battleList = battleLog.split('\n'); battleCount = battleList.length; addLine(); } } xmlHttp.send('null'); } This would save the code to the database, then with a separate function, namely endBattle() the variable code would be used to access a file called endBattle.php?i= where this script would compare the code from the GET variable to the code in the database. However, I realised before finishing this that the user could manually set the code to whatever they want through the saveCode.php page, then view the endBattle.php Does anyone have any ideas how else I could validate my endBattle.php page so that users couldn't view it in their browser to run it? Forgive me if this is in the completely wrong forum, I just thought I'd see whether there were any php methods of doing this. Thanks! Hey people, I know this is going back to basics but i'm just learning and want to make sure I do it all correctly. I want to pass variable's from one page to another. Now currently say I wanted to hold the users age and email address from his record in the database from page A and pass it to page B for it to be displayed back to him I would store each in their own session variable (so for the purpose of the explanation session_user_email=me@email.com and session_user_age=18. On page B I would then call the session and store it in a variable then destroy the session. Just out of curiosity is the the best way to pass the data? or should i use another method? i've read about session hijacking and i'm now worried about holding personal data within a session so i'm wondering what other people do?? Cheers ok ive searched everywhere online for a webform that is in 2 or more parts... so the first page passes variables to the second page then saves info for next page to submit all info from both pages of application to a server etc. ideally my page would look like this... page 1: small form with 3 fields: 1. type of loan: [dropdown menu] a. Cashout refinance b. Purchase 2. Property type: [dropdown menu] a. single family b. multi-unit, etc. 3. Property State: [dropdown menu] a. states....... [Next Page] <---Button page 2: a few more fields: (for example:) 1. Approximate credit score [dropdown menu] a. 650-700 etc.... 2. Phone number [textbox] 3. email address [textbox] [submit button] I know its possible, i just need to be put on the path... any help is much appreciated! Hi all, I've been trying to create a page whereby a user enters a few details which is then emailed, but I'm seriously stuck on one issue. First page - console type Second page - serial number Only two steps at the moment as I need to figure it out. I'm passing everything into a variable from a post(ed) form. It appears on the next page fine, as I've been testing, but the details entered on the first page don't show on the third, however, the details from the second page do! Here is the code I have: Code: [Select] <?php switch ($step) { case "1": ?> <table width="75%" align="center"> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top"> <form action="?step=2" method="post" id="consoletype">Please select your console type<br /></td></tr> <tr><td align="center" valign="top" width="50%"> <label>Xbox 360 Original (Beige or Black)<br /><img src="images/xbox360orig.gif" width="250" height="250"><br /><input class="button" type="radio" name="console" value="xboxorig" /></label></td> <td align="center" valign="top" width="50%"><label>Xbox 360 Slim<br /><img src="images/xbox360slim.gif" width="250" height="250"><br /><input type="radio" name="console" value="xboxslim" /></label></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <input type="submit" value="Next"> </form> </td> </tr> </table> <?php echo $code; include("footer.php"); echo $code2; include("compat.php"); echo $code3; case "2": $console = $_POST['console']; echo $console; ?> Please enter your Xbox 360 Serial Number:<br /> <form action="?step=3" method="post"> <input name="serialno" type="text" size="20" maxlength="20"> <input type="submit" value="Next"> </form> <?php echo $code; include("footer.php"); echo $code2; include("compat.php"); echo $code3; case "3": echo "<br />"; $serialno = $_POST['serialno']; echo $serialno; echo $console; echo $code; include("footer.php"); echo $code2; include("compat.php"); echo $code3; } ?> I do understand it's messy at the moment but I don't see much point beautifying everything until I can solve this problem! Cheers! what I am trying to accomplish is for the user to select the state they wish, hit submit. At this point another form should show asking which county based on the state they picked, then hit search. At this point, I'm having an issue having the state variable being passed to the 2nd form also having the state they selected stay selected. <?php $default = "Step 1. Pick Your State"; $select = "<option name='statebox'>$default</option>"; echo "<br/><form method='POST' action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']." >"; echo "<select name='search'>"; echo "$select"; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //Connect to the database include_once 'phpforms/connect.php'; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM states"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $state = $row['states']; echo "<option name='statebox'>$state</option>"; }//End While /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// echo "</select>"; echo "<input align='left' type='submit' name='stateboxbutton' value='Ok'> "; echo "</form>"; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; if(isset($_POST['stateboxbutton'])){ $statesearch = $_POST['statebox']; $selected = $_POST['statebox']; $select = "<option name='statebox'>$selected</option>"; echo "<br/><form action='../search-results.php' method='POST'>"; echo "<select name='search'>"; echo "<option name='default'>Step 2. Pick Your County</option>"; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //Connect to the database include_once 'phpforms/connect.php'; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM counties WHERE state LIKE '$statesearch'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $co = $row['counties']; echo "<option name='county'>$co</option>"; }//End While /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// echo "</select>"; echo "<input align='left' type='submit' name='button' value='Search'> "; echo "</form>"; }else{ }//End Else ?> This is a multi page registration form. I want to check the user input from form1.php with preg_match in form2.php then return the users details back into form1 with error messages(e.g $errname) so the user doesn't need to re enter the information. Neither the error messages or the session variables are shown in form1.php's form. I've echoed out the session variables found that the value makes it to form 2. But the variables are empty when it goes back to form 1. form1.php <html> <head> <title>Register</title> <style type="text/css"> td { vertical-align: top; } .errText { font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px;

I think I should buy a professional book, instead of my beginner one. I normally don't work with PHP or rather I'm learning as I go..and this is pretty much my last barrier between completing this project. Anyway here are my two files: http://pastebin.com/aThU3akC - file i want to grab values from and pass to the file below http://pastebin.com/kTYHr99p - file that is suppose to display the values in $transmessage Basically I need the variables defined in the first file to be passed and usable in the second and I'm not sure why I can't The code below is a form the gets information from a database and post it into the appropriate field. I am having a problem with the while loop. All the variables before the while loop work just great and echo out how they should. But everything after the while loop does not work. I know it has something to do with the while loop because when I take the while loop out everything works as it should. Can anyone please help me with this? <? $id = $_POST["id"]; $therapy = $_POST["therapy"]; db_connect(); $query=mysql_query("select * from student where student_id = $id") or die ("invalid query"); $row=mysql_fetch_array($query); print "<table width='330' border=0 align='center'> <form method='POST' action='table.php'> <td>*First Name:</td> <td>*Last Name:</td> <tr>"; ?> <td width="157"><input size="23" name="first_name" value="<?php echo "$row[first_name]"; ?>" /></td> <td width="138"><input type="text" size="23" name="surname" value="<?php echo "$row[surname]"; ?>" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Level:</td> <td>Therapy:</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <select name="program_level"> <option <?php if ($row[program_level]=='1') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value="1">O&A</option> <option <?php if ($row[program_level]=='2') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value="2">Student</option> <option <?php if ($row[program_level]=='3') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value="3">Supervisor</option> <option <?php if ($row[program_level]=='4') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value="4">Manager</option> <option <?php if ($row[program_level]=='5') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value="5">Director</option> <option <?php if ($row[program_level]=='6') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value="6">Graduate</option> </select> </td> <td> <!-- Auto drop down for therapist names--> <? $query2=mysql_query("select * from therapy_info;"); ?> <select name='therapy'> <? while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query2)){ ?> <option value="<? echo "$row[therapy_name]"; ?>"> <? echo "$row[therapy_name]"; } ?> </option> </select> <!-- End Auto drop down for therapist names--> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Active:<?php echo "$row[active]"; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><select name='active' value='$row[active]'> <option <?php if ($row[active]=='1') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value='1'>Active</option> <option <?php if ($row[active]=='0') echo "selected=yes"; ?> value='0'>Inactive</option> </select> </td> </tr> <?php print "<tr> <td><input type='submit' value='Change' name='button' /></td> <input type='hidden' name='id' value='$id' />"; ?> <input type='hidden' name='$hardcode_session' /> <? print "</tr> </form> </table>"; Hi First post here. Long time reader! I'm looking to gauge the general practices of dealing with variables between pages. I'd always pass my variables through the POST. Im normally always doing a post back and processing the data at the top of the page. I never liked the query string as it open to manipulation, but can see its use for a search results page and saving the url. I came from a ASP background and we would only use session variables for holding user login information as the windows server had a habit of restarting the pool and loosing the session. We didn't want this happening, for example, when doing an e-commerce transaction. We always felt the post was the most robust method. Now Im using php and all the great features it has. I was looking to see what the more experience php developers used and am I right sticking to the post method, or is utilising session a more modern way of doing things. I've a few years experience doing web dev, just thought I touch base on a few issues to make sure I'm still heading in the right direction. Thanks for any advice guys! Hello all, So I've picked up a PHP book in an attempt to learn it. The issue I'm having is preventing me from getting any further. They have me creating a simple order form, but the data is not passing from the HTML page to the PHP Processing file. I know there are other ways of doing this that I'm unaware of, but this code is verbatam to what we are isntructed to type within the book itself. Here is the code orderform.html: Code: [Select] <html> <body> <form action="processorder.php" method="post"> <table border="0"> <tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td width="150">Item</td> <td width="15">Quantity</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Tires</td> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="tireqty" size="3" maxlength="3"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Oil</td> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="oilqty" size="3" maxlength="3"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Spark Plugs</td> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="sparkqty" size="3" maxlength="3"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>How did you find Bob's?</td> <td><select name="find"> <option value = "a">I'm a regular customer</option> <option value = "b">TV advertising</option> <option value = "c">Phone directory</option> <option value = "d">Word of mouth</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit Order"></td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> processorder.php: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Bobs Auto Parts - Order Results</title> </head> <body> <h1>Bobs Auto Parts</h1> <h2>Order Results</h2> <?php $tireqty = $_post['tireqty']; $oilqty = $_post['oilqty']; $sparkqty = $_post['sparkqty']; echo "<p>Order Processed at "; echo date('H:i, jS F Y'); echo "</p>"; echo '<p>Your order is as follows: </p>'; echo $tireqty.' tires<br />'; echo $oilqty.' bottles of oil<br />'; echo $sparkqty.' spark plugs<br />'; $totalqty = 0; $totalamount = 0.00; define('TIREPRICE', 100); define('OILPRICE', 10); define('SPARKPRICE', 4); ?> </body> </html> For some reason the values on the processing form dont show up.

The writers website isnt any help.... Regards, sapper6fd hai everybody....
1. can any one let me know how to pass a variable from view to controller in CodeIgniter...
2. if possible send me a complete login application...developed by using CodeIgniter....
Thanks & Regards,
Shankaar.
I'm creating this URL to pass variables to use from one Page to another:
http://eg10basketbal...Borgman&team=16
My WP site is seeing the first variable but not the second. After some searching I've found this suggestion, but it's not working for me:
function add_query_vars_filter( $vars ) {
$vars[] = "nameFull";
$vars[] = "team";
return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_query_vars_filter' );
I tried putting this in the wp-includes/functions.php file of the, but ended up with a fatal error. I have since added it to my theme's functions.php file. There isn't an error, but it doesn't yield recognition of my second variable.
I have the following code that outputs a url. It searches my MySQL database for the name of a given item within a theme: $relative = 'http://www.domain.com/wp-content/'; $url1= $relative . 'themes/arjuna-x/itemspec.php?type='; $url2='&item='; <a class="entry-thumbnails-link" href="<?php echo $url1.'Themes'.$url2.$rowThemes['Theme']; ?>"> The output is as follows: http://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/arjuna-x/itemspec.php?type=Themes&item=(insert variable here) All is good up to this point. My problem however, is that some items (in this case: theme names) have apostrophes in them. For example: April Fool's. This results in breaking my php code. How can I get php to call these variables with apostrophes so that they don't break my php? Hi, I'm trying to pass a variable into a URL and apparently I'm doing it wrong this code is OK Code: [Select] $id = $3; echo '<a href="newPage.php?id=3"></a> If I use Code: [Select] $id = $_GET['id']; echo $id; on the newPage.php, I echo 3 whereas, if I do Code: [Select] $id = $3; echo '<a href="newPage.php?id="'.$id.'"></a> when echo out on the newPage.php it prints out nothing also, in current url look like this: Code: [Select] www.site.com/newPage.php?id= What am I doing wrong? Many thanks I'm a newbie here and to php and Javascript. So hello all. I am trying to get a portion of a file name passed from one file (first.php) which displays a MySql table. One of the fields is a link that is supposed to open a popup window (second.php) and begin playing a mp3 file with the flash media player. I have everything (almost) working. The table displays as it should, the link is fine. However, I can not get the popup to open with the dimensions I asked for. It opens in a full size new window. And the mp3 will not play. I get the message from the player "we are unable to connect...etc etc". The file name shows up in the status bar and in the URL window. In the file first.php, the table displays, the links appear to be active. when clicked the new window opens, the file names carry over but I can not get the file to play. The player loads (in file second.php) but I get the message from the player "we are unable to connect...etc etc". I suspect it is in the syntax. I have tried so many combinations I can't list them here and so far I have been unable to find anything on google, etc to answer this. After almost three days I have resorted to here. This may not even be the right place for me. Javascript may be my best bet for all I know. Can someone please look over what I have and at least point me in the right direction? Any help is greatly appreciated as this is my first attempt at a website.

function myFunction($a=null,$b=null,$c=null,$d=null,$e=null,$f=null,$g=null,$h=null)

}
Maybe the second function?
function myNewFunction($data=array())
{
$data=array_merge(array('a'=>null,'b'=>null,'c'=>null,'d'=>null,'e'=>null,'f'=>null,'g'=>null,'h'=>null),$array);
//Do a bunch of stuff
}
Please provide decision making factors why you would use one approach over the other.
Ok, well basically i'm not sure if this can be done or not. Basically I have a IM type bar for my website similar to facebook. It's from CometChat.com. Anyway the place to edit the links to all the modules for the bar are done in the config.php file. What I'm trying to do is put a link for users to click to go directly to their profile on the site. To do this i get the user's ID, and reference it to the mysql database, get the nickname, pass it to a varaiable and plug the variable into the url in the config file. The problem I'm having is when I run ANY mysql commands in the config file it kills the CometChat script from showing at all on the site. I'm not sure why since the whole config file is in php... so i don't see how mysql statements would keep the script from showing. Another Idea I thought about was running the mysql statements in another php file and somehow get that variable from a php code in the config.php file.. but i'm not really sure what code will run the mysql file and return the variable i need. Any help is greatly appreciated. The below works for ?rma=non-returned and &year=$year, however once it's get down to month it doesn't work. Everything seems to be in the proper brackets, but it's still not working. It goes to a blank page when month=$month is added to the URL. The URL looks like this : ?rma=calander&year=2011&month=5 Code: [Select] elseif($_GET['rma']=="calender"){ $sql101010="SELECT DISTINCT rma_year_issued FROM $tbl_name4 WHERE rma_issued='y' ORDER BY rma_year_issued"; $result101010=mysql_query($sql101010); while($row101010=mysql_fetch_array($result101010)){ extract($row101010); $content.='<a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calender&year='.$rma_year_issued.'">'.$rma_year_issued.'</a> <br />'; } if(isset($_GET['year'])){ $content=""; $logout.=' | <a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calender">Back to RMA Calender</a>'; $rma_year_issued=$_GET['year']; $sql111010="SELECT DISTINCT rma_month_issued FROM $tbl_name4 WHERE rma_year_issued='$rma_year_issued' ORDER BY rma_month_issued"; $result111010=mysql_query($sql111010); while($row111010=mysql_fetch_array($result111010)){ extract($row111010); if($rma_month_issued=="1"){$rma_month_issued2="January";} if($rma_month_issued=="2"){$rma_month_issued2="February";} if($rma_month_issued=="3"){$rma_month_issued2="March";} if($rma_month_issued=="4"){$rma_month_issued2="April";} if($rma_month_issued=="5"){$rma_month_issued2="May";} if($rma_month_issued=="6"){$rma_month_issued2="June";} if($rma_month_issued=="7"){$rma_month_issued2="July";} if($rma_month_issued=="8"){$rma_month_issued2="August";} if($rma_month_issued=="9"){$rma_month_issued2="September";} if($rma_month_issued=="10"){$rma_month_issued2="October";} if($rma_month_issued=="11"){$rma_month_issued2="November";} if($rma_month_issued=="12"){$rma_month_issued2="December";} $content.='<a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calander&year='.$rma_year_issued.'&month='.$rma_month_issued.'">'.$rma_month_issued2.'</a> <br />'; } if(isset($_GET['month'])){ $content=""; $logout.=' | <a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calender&year='.$rma_year_issued.'">Back to RMA Calender Year</a>'; $rma_month_issued=$_GET['month']; $sql211010="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name4 WHERE rma_year_issued='$rma_year_issued' AND rma_month_issued='$rma_month_issued' ORDER BY rma_date_issued"; $result211010=mysql_query($sql211010); while($row211010=mysql_fetch_array($result211010)){ $content.='<a href="./acp_admincp.php?rma=calander&year='.$rma_year_issued.'&month='.$rma_month_issued.'&id='.$rma_id.'">'.$rma_number.'</a> <br />'; } } } } The issue maybe the AND in the SQL query... however I need to be sure that the data pulled is of that specific month and that specific year. Not one or the other. Hi guys, I've been going crazy over this and I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm making a website for a friend and I'm stuck on sending the model over to the contact page (from one form to another on a different page using $_POST). Here is the website : www.ipgetter.com/test I have successfully posted the Make variable to the contact us page, but I can't get the model sent over (the select boxes have different names). Example: Code: [Select] <select class="form-dropdown" style="width:150px" id="input_2" name="q2_make"> <option selected="selected" value="Alfa Romeo"> Alfa Romeo </option> <option value="Aston Martin"> Aston Martin </option> <option value="Audi"> Audi </option> <option value="Bently"> Bently </option> <option value="BMW"> BMW </option> <option value="Chevrolet"> Chevrolet </option> <option value="Chrysler"> Chrysler </option> <option value="Citroen"> Citroen </option> <option value="Ferrari"> Ferrari </option> <option value="Fiat"> Fiat </option> <option value="Ford"> Ford </option> <option value="Honda"> Honda </option> <option value="Hyundai"> Hyundai </option> <option value="Infiniti"> Infiniti </option> <option value="Isuzi"> Isuzi </option> <option value="Jaguar"> Jaguar </option> <option value="Jeep"> Jeep </option> <option value="Kia"> Kia </option> <option value="Lamborghini"> Lamborghini </option> <option value="Land Rover"> Land Rover </option> <option value="Lexus"> Lexus </option> <option value="Lotus"> Lotus </option> <option value="Maserati"> Maserati </option> <option value="Mazda"> Mazda </option> <option value="Mclaren"> Mclaren </option> <option value="Mercedes-Benz"> Mercedes-Benz </option> <option value="MG"> MG </option> <option value="Mini"> Mini </option> <option value="Mitsubishi"> Mitsubishi </option> <option value="Nissan"> Nissan </option> <option value="Peugeot"> Peugeot </option> <option value="Porsche"> Porsche </option> <option value="Renault"> Renault </option> <option value="Rolls-Royce"> Rolls-Royce </option> <option value="Seat"> Seat </option> <option value="Skoda"> Skoda </option> <option value="Smart"> Smart </option> <option value="Ssangyong"> Ssangyong </option> <option value="Subaru"> Subaru </option> <option value="Suzuki"> Suzuki </option> <option value="Toyota"> Toyota </option> <option value="Vauxhall"> Vauxhall </option> <option value="Volkswagen"> Volkswagen </option> <option value="Volvo"> Volvo </option> <option value="Other"> Other </option> </select> That's the make, as for the model, the select boxes have different names so how am I supposed to capture the users selection and POST it? Code: [Select] <li class="form-line" id="id_3"> <label id="label_3" for="input_3"></label> <div id="cid_3" class="form-input"> <select class="form-dropdown" style="width:150px" id="input_3" name="q3_model"> <option selected="selected" value="147"> 147 </option> <option value="159"> 159 </option> <option value="8C"> 8C </option> <option value="Breva"> Breva </option> <option value="Giulietta"> Giulietta </option> <option value="Mito"> Mito </option> <option value="Other"> Other </option> </select> </div> </li> <li class="form-line" id="id_4"> <label id="label_4" for="input_4"></label> <div id="cid_4" class="form-input"> <select class="form-dropdown" style="width:150px" id="input_4" name="q4_model4"> <option selected="selected" value="Cygnet"> Cygnet </option> <option value="DB9"> DB9 </option> <option value="DBS"> DBS </option> <option value="Rapide"> Rapide </option> <option value="Vantage"> Vantage </option> <option value="Virage"> Virage </option> <option value="Other"> Other </option> </select> </div> </li> I want to post only the selected make/model depending on the user selection. So my question is, how can I send the users chosen model selection over to the contact page form where there is more than one different select box? These select boxes are conditional so when you select "other" as make or model make/model, you may type one in. I'd like to send that also. Any help is appreciated guys, thanks so much. |
