display hidden field

[Marcos01]

Hello, I have a form on 1 page which pulls questions from a database.

 

I would like to display the hidden field. I dont know if i use the hidden field correctly. Thanks for your help

 

echo '<form action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'" method="POST" value="">';

$query1="Select * from formquestions where pagina=$currentpage order by questionnumber";

$result1=mysql_query( $query1) or die("question query certainly didn't work");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{
$query2="Select * from formresponse where pagina=$currentpage and questionnumber = ".$row[questionnumber]." order by responsenum";


$result2=mysql_query( $query2) or die("Response Query certainly didn't work");
while ($row2=mysql_fetch_array($result2))
	{
	echo '<input type="radio" name="'.$row['questionnumber'].$row['page'].'" value="'.$row2['responsetext'].'" />'.$row2['responsetext'].'<br />';
	}

echo '<br />';
}

//hidden values per page

echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$row['questionnumber'].$row['page'].'" value="'.$row2['responsetext'].'">';

//===========================================================
echo '<input type="submit" name="pageminus" value="previous">';
echo '<input type="submit" name="pageplus" value="next">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="camefrom" value="'.$currentpage.'">';
echo '</form>';

it looks ok..what is the problem?

I would like to display it. If the hidden field is used correctly, how do I display it correctly?

 

Thanks

[samshel]

display it? couuld you please elaborate more ? "hidden" field is actually hidden and you cannot see it in browser, you can check it in View source though..

 

Sorry if i got u terribly wrong.

I need to store it in the database. But before i do that i would like to display the value in the browser.

 

Is that possible?

[samshel]

echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$row['questionnumber'].$row['page'].'" value="'.$row2['responsetext'].'">'.$row2['responsetext'];

 

 

is this what ur looking 4 ?

[feidakila]

once the form is sent you can print it

 

example:

echo $_POST['name_of_hidden_input'];  //maybe is $_GET, it depends on the method you used

Oooo are you looking for the hidden fields value?

 

<input type="hidden" name="myhiddenfield" value="whatever you want in here">

 

to retrieve the hidden field:

echo $_POST['myhiddenfield'];

 

I could be completely wrong tho...

[Marcos01]

The form I use displays 2 to 4 questions max at the time. After I hit next,

A new set of questions is displayed. Above that I would like to display the previous filled out data.

 

So if this line of code is correctly:

 

echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$row['questionnumber'].$row['page'].'" value="'.$row2['responsetext'].'">';

 

What would the code be to print/display it?

 

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

 

Thank you all for your help

Anyone?

You need to pass these names somehow.  Are you posting this to itself or another page?  Anyway, I would put each field name in double array and pass it.

It is posted to itself. I am not sure on how to do this.

[Maq]

When you assign the hidden field name assign that same value to a double array.  Array[$Q_num][$page].  Before you submit you need to create another hidden field and pass this array through.  So when you submit the page to itself you can get the values/questions with $_POST from the array.

 

Maybe someone has a better idea?
