Re: Long forms

When I do this using PHP I usually write the previous page's inputs into the
current form as hidden inputs

<?php
while(list($name,$value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS) {
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\">\n";
}
?>

Then you change the form action and submit value as needed.

Subject: Long forms


| We've all taken surveys or filled out long forms that span several
| pages.  There's usually a Continue button at the bottom of each page
| and, of course a submit button, at the bottom of the last page.
|
| My question is, what is the method/code? that allows for form data to be
| "passed from page to page" (for lack of better phrased description) and
| then ultimately submitted from the last page? Or is each page getting
| submitted through the Continue button?
|
| I want to have a short form that can be submitted as is, OR can
| optionally send the visitor to a second page asking for substantially
| more info.  Submitting that second page needs to include the first
| page's info as well. Is this making sense?!?!
|
| Any help greatly appreciated.
