Hi

I have a form with one text input, and i need to take the users input and place it into another form, is this possible using php, if so how?

Thanks

It can be done by adding hidden fileds in the second form.But it need posting data from one forum to another one

If you can use the same page for both forms, then you can just use POST. Otherwise you may need to write to cookie, or session variables to store them long term.

Can you be more specific?

Yeah sorry

I have a whois form, and in the input the user would insert their domain name

Once the whois runs and the details show, at the bottom I want to add a more detailed statistic, that will open in a java window (alexa, pr etc..) and I need the domain name in place for that input so the user only needs to click the submit button

I think SESSION variables would best be suited for your purpose, so check 'em out as they say. When the (first) form is submitted assign the domain to a session variable then echo it back out later.

Can you post a sample of your code here?

I think that would make it easier to help you out. To me, this sounds like an easy fix. If you want to use what was posted from the previous page more than once you just call the POST var again.

Something like this should work for what you want to do.

<form name="form" id="form" action="action.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="form_value_1" id="form_value_1" value="$<?=$_POST['form_field_value_from_previous_page'];?>">
<input type="submit" value="Detailed Information">
</form>

my first form:

PHP Code:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="get.php">
<input type="text" name="dom" value="" style="font-size: 30px;" />
<input type="image" src="img/go.jpg">
</form> 


The second form:

PHP Code:

<form method="post" action="./" onsubmit="getResults(this.url.value); return false;">
            <input type="text" name="url" value="<?php echo ($_GET['url']) ? htmlspecialchars($_GET['url']) : 'http://www.google.com/'; ?>" size="40" />
            <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
        </form>

I need the input that is entered from the first form to appear in place of the http://www.google.com/ place in the second.

Thanks

            <input type="text" name="url" value="<?php echo ($_GET['url']) ? htmlspecialchars($_GET['url']) : htmlspecialchars($_POST['dom']); ?>" size="40" />
