Hi owo,

I'm not quite sure what you mean. But if you had a form called form.php:

Code:

<html>
<head><title>Form</title></head>
<body>
<form action="submit.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="firstname"><br><br>
<input type="radio" name="mycolor" value="blue"><br>
<input type="radio" name="mycolor" value="red"><br>
<input type="radio" name="mycolor" value="green"><br><br>
<textarea name="weirdcomments"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body></html>

Then on a separate page (submit.php), these are the variables that have been transferred from form.php: $firstname, $mycolor, and $weirdcomments. Does that make sense?

you can't, your page must be in php also

ok what would it be in php?

just do what conkermaniac said... but if you don't know it exactly, use print(); to display the form results like

PHP Code:


// submit.php

print("$firstname <br>"); 

print("$mycolor <br>");

print("$weirdcomments");

but the prefered way is this

PHP Code:


// register globals is off

print("$_POST[firstname] <br>");

print("$_POST[mycolor] <br>");

print("$_POST[weirdcomments] <br>");

no thats not what i want say i submit it to submit.php i want submit.php to forward the infomation posted to another php page

**kabatak** · April 9th, 2003, 12:03

thats basically the point, you make another page with those code.
