handling the .get[id] in a form

[jeff5656]

I have the following form that a user gets to by clicking a patient name.

When they submit it, I want the form to process and then bring user BACK to this form.

However, when I do this, I lose the get[id] info.  How do I modify these files so the patient that the user originally clicked is "remembered":

Form:

$consultsq1 = "SELECT * FROM icu
					WHERE id_incr = '" . $_GET['id'] . "'";
$result = mysql_query ($consultsq1) or die ("Invalid query: " . mysql_error ());
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($result);

$id_incr = $row['id_incr'];
?>	

<form name="newsubmit" method="post" action="addbill.php">
Diagnosis 1<input name="dx1" type="text" size="20" />
<input type="hidden" name ="id_incr" value="<?php echo $id_incr; ?>"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Add" onClick="return check('newsubmit', this.name)"/>
    </form>

 

Action file (addbill.php):

<?php 

include ("connectdb.php");

// grab the variables from the form
$pt_id = $_POST['id_incr'];
//$billing_datepre = $_POST['billing_date'];
$newdate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($_POST['rcf_date']));
$billing_lvl = $_POST['billing_lvl'];
$dx1 = $_POST['dx1'];
$dx2 = $_POST['dx2'];
$dx3 = $_POST['dx3'];
$dx4 = $_POST['dx4'];
$dx5 = $_POST['dx5'];
$dx6 = $_POST['dx6'];
$dx7 = $_POST['dx7'];
$dx8 = $_POST['dx8'];
$staff = $_POST['staff'];

$query = "INSERT INTO dos (dos_id, pt_id, billing_date, billing_lvl, dx1, dx2, dx3, dx4, dx5, dx6, dx7, dx8, staff)

VALUES('', '$pt_id', '$newdate', '$billing_lvl', '$dx1', '$dx2', '$dx3', '$dx4', '$dx5', '$dx6', '$dx7', '$dx8', '$staff' )";

mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

header("Location: editdos.php");
?>

Simple, don't use header(). Instead, use an include().

[rhodesa]

in the action file, $pt_id is the patient id right?

 

so just finish that file with:

mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

header("Location: editdos.php?id=".$pt_id);
?>
