Multiples forms validation

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I manage to do 2 forms in 2 diferent php files.
1 form in each page.
The 1st one has a form with a basic contact info and an attached file
and the second form has a list of questions with checkboxes.
In the first form I have 2 buttond (reset and continue) and the second form also has 2 buttons (reset and send).
After sending the information everything is send to an email.
My only problem now is that I have to validate first the information put in the first form and then display the second page with the second form.
This is what I did:

Th first form1.php has the following:
[code]

<form action="acghsformv3f2.php" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1">

    <!-- The questions of the form -->

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

</form>

[/code]

And in my second form2.php I have the following:
[code]

<body>
<?php
  if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST")
  {
        // In here I put the validations of the second form.
        // If I put the validation of the first form they will occur after the second
        // form is process (notice the POST) and I need them to occur after the first       
        // form and before opening the second form.
        // But if I put something similar in the first Form then the second will never
        // be open because I will have to change the action and method of the
        // first form.
        //
        // I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR ;-)
 
        // If validations are ok send an email

  }
  else
  { ?>
  <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form2">

    <!-- The questions of the form -->

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

    <?php

        // This is what will capture the values from the first form and put them
        // in hidden fields to be send after. Notice that it must be inside the form.

      $name;    // Represents the name of the elements in $HTTP_POST_VARS
      $value;    // Represents the value of the elements in $HTTP_POST_VARS

        // Do while there is an element in $HTTP_POST_VARS...

      while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))

      // Construct a hidden input field.
      // Then go back to the beginning of the loop and do the same thing.

      {
        echo "<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"$value\" name=\"$name\">\n";
      }

    ?>
  </form>

<?php
} ?>
</body>

[/code]

So, as you can see this is my logic of what I have to do but don't know how.
the logical flow should goes like this:

  Form1 (form1.php)
    * If the request isn't a form submission, show the form.
    * If the request is a form submission, validate the submitted parameters.
    * If the submitted parameters are invalid, show the form again.
    * If the submitted parameters are valid, open second form.

  Form2 (form2.php)
    * If the request isn't a form submission, show the form.
    * the values from form1 are stored in hidden fields in the form2.
    * If the request is a form submission, validate the submitted parameters.
    * If the submitted parameters are invalid, show the form again.
    * If the submitted parameters are valid, send everything by email.


Thanks again...
