Posting values from an input field

[riavh]

I am having trouble sending information that was entered into a form, on the same page to the next page.

 

I am sure i have done this a few years ago but cant find the code and cant find the answer online, hope someone can help me.

 

My code is as follows:

 

<form method="POST" action="https://.............. .asp ">

<table>

  <tr>

    <td>Name: </td>

    <td><input type="text" name="clientname" /></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td>E-mail:</td>

    <td><input type="text" name="email" /></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td>Contact No:</td>

    <td><input type="text" name="telno" /></td>

  </tr>

</table>

<?php

$udate = date("y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime ("+2 hour"));

$uniquevalue = "$udate" . " " . "Simpay Pro";

echo $uniquevalue;

?>

<br />

<input type="hidden" name="info1" value="<?php print $uniquevalue?>">

<input type="hidden" name="info2" value=$clientname>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

 

So basically info1 is working i can see the value on the next page after its submitted, but info2 is the value of the input field.

 

Is this possible to do it like this, or do i have to send it to another page and then to my last page that displays the values?

I think you need to add php echo.

 

<input type="hidden" name="info2" value="<?php echo $clientname;?>">

The values won't automatically end up in variables with the names of the form fields (at least they shouldn't on a well configured server), they'll be in the $_POST array after the form has been submitted.

Thank you for the replies

 

the only way i found of passing a value to another field on the same form on the same page is by using javascript

I'm glad you got it to work.  Note  though, that you did mention you wanted the value onto the next page.
