What its suppose to do as you can see it reads data from a MYSQL database:

--
-- Table structure for table `orderwebsite`
--

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `orderwebsite` (
  `id` int(255) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `websitenumber` int(255) NOT NULL,
  `timeava` int(255) NOT NULL,
  `orderdata` text NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

--
-- Dumping data for table `orderwebsite`
--

INSERT INTO `orderwebsite` (`id`, `websitenumber`, `timeava`, `orderdata`) VALUES
(1, 1, 5, '<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post"><input type="submit" value="Order Now!"><input name="orderdata" type="hidden" value=''<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post">    Website Order Number: <?php echo $_POST["websiteechonumber"]; ?><br>    Available Work Time: <?php echo $_POST["echotimeava"]; ?><br>    First Name:<input type="text" name="firstname"><br>    Last Name:<input type="text" name="lastname"><br>    Email:<input type="text" name="youremail"><br>    <input type="submit" value="Submit"></form><br>    Please Use a valid Name and email so we can contact you to make your website''><input type="hidden" name="websiteechonumber" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="echotimeava" value="5"></form>'),
(2, 2, 3, '<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post"><input type="submit" value="Order Now!"><input name="orderdata" type="hidden" value=''<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post">    First Name:<input type="text" name="firstname"><br>    Last Name:<input type="text" name="lastname"><br>    Email:<input type="text" name="youremail"><br>    <input type="submit" value="Submit"></form><br>    Please Use a valid Name and email so we can contact you to make your website''></form>');

 

That has the HTML from the top of the this topic as you can see when the neworderwebsite.php which brings out the html code from the database you should be able to click Order Now! it displays another form which should also echo the POST of websiteechonumber and echotimeava but it doesnt what is wrong thanks and also another thing is the submit button seems to of magicly turned into a Text box i know these errors will be coming well i think one of them because its in a MYSQL database but its needed for what im doing

Thanks Alot :)

let's start with the first block of code...the form. i copied it into my text editor, added new lines, and now it looks like this (which obviously is wrong):

 

<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post">
  <input type="submit" value="Order Now!">
  <input name="orderdata" type="hidden" value='
  
<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post">
      Website Order Number: <?php echo $_POST["websiteechonumber"]; ?><br>
      Available Work Time: <?php echo $_POST["echotimeava"]; ?><br>
      First Name:<input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
      Last Name:<input type="text" name="lastname"><br>
      Email:<input type="text" name="youremail"><br>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form><br>
    Please Use a valid Name and email so we can contact you to make your website

'>
<input type="hidden" name="websiteechonumber" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="echotimeava" value="5">
</form>

 

did you copy/paste wrong into the post or is this the code you are using? i assume it's supposed to be more like this:

<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post">
      Website Order Number: <?php echo $_POST["websiteechonumber"]; ?><input type="hidden" name="websiteechonumber" value="<?php echo $_POST["websiteechonumber"]; ?>"><br>
      Available Work Time: <?php echo $_POST["echotimeava"]; ?><input type="hidden" name="echotimeava" value="<?php echo $_POST["echotimeava"]; ?>"><br>
      First Name:<input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
      Last Name:<input type="text" name="lastname"><br>
      Email:<input type="text" name="youremail"><br>
      <input type="submit" value="Order Now!">
</form><br>
    Please Use a valid Name and email so we can contact you to make your website

hidden input fields can't have "special" characters like < > ' in them. you have to encode them first. try this:

 

<?php
$form = '<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post">
      Website Order Number: '.$_POST["websiteechonumber"].'<br>
      Available Work Time: '.$_POST["echotimeava"].'<br>
      First Name:<input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
      Last Name:<input type="text" name="lastname"><br>
      Email:<input type="text" name="youremail"><br>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form><br>
    Please Use a valid Name and email so we can contact you to make your website';
?>
<form action="neworderwebsite.php" method="post">
  <input type="submit" value="Order Now!">
  <input name="orderdata" type="hidden" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($form); ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="websiteechonumber" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="echotimeava" value="5">
</form>
