Why arent my variables being passed?

iheartlinus · July 24, 2009

So I am using PHP for a four step process. The first step is the user inputting info into a calculator, the second step is that it shows them the calculated total and displays a link to the third step, which is where they enter the contact information and press submit, and then they are redirected to the home page (4th step)

The third step is where I am stuck. For some reason the variables are not getting passed from the first form (calculator) to the second form (contact info) and submitted to me. In the email that I am getting I receive the contact info, but none of the calculator info, so I'm assuming my variables are not getting passed?

First Step:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?submit=true">

</p>

</p>

<p class="formdesign">How many pages do you estimate your site will need?

</p>

<p>

<label>

Up to 5 pages</label>

<br>

<label>

Up to 10 Pages</label>

<br>

<label>

Up to 15 Pages</label>

<br>

</span></p>

<p class="formdesign">Will you be selling items on your Website?</p>

<p>

Yes

<p class="formdesign">Would like to be able to update the site yourself?</p>

<p class="footnote">*If you will be selling items skip this step, as all e-commerce sites include a content management system.</p>

<p>

Yes

<p class="formdesign">Will your site need any of the following?</p>

<p>

<label>

Audio/Video Player</label>

<br>

<label>

Flash Intro</label>

<br>

<label>

Photo Gallery/Slideshow</label>

<br>

</span></p>

Will you need any of the following?

<label>

<br>

Logo/Graphic Design</label>

<br>

<label>

Copy (Words)</label>

<br>

<label>

Images</label>

</span><br>

</p>

</p>

</form>

</div>

</map>

</div>

<?php

$submit = $_GET['submit'];

if($submit == "true")

{

$total = ($_POST['one'] + $_POST['two'] + $_POST['three'] + $_POST['four'] + $_POST['five'] + $_POST['six'] + $_POST['seven'] + $_POST['eight']+ $_POST['nine'] + $_POST['ten']+ $_POST['eleven'] + $_POST['twelve']+ $_POST['thirteen']);

echo " Your Price is \$ " .number_format ($total, 2, '.', ','). "<BR>";

echo ('<a href="http://designs.com/projectrequest.… Your Project Started </a>');

}

?>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Second Page:

<?php

session_start();

$submit = $_GET['submit'];

if($submit == "true")

{

header("Location: http://designs.com");

$to = "[email protected]";

$message = "Pages:\t$_POST[one]\n";

$message .= "Logo:\t$_POST[two]\n"; :shrug:

Why are you using $_GET when your form is POSTed? Use $_POST.

When you post code to this forum, please surround the code with

tags.

When I change the two $_GET fields to $_POST the code no longer works in the calculator?

Also, stay away from using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], that is highly insecure.
