Form with a lot of different pages

[NLCJ]

Hello,

I'm creating a form which depends on their first input, when they select the first type from a dropdownlist and press 'Go to step 2' they'll go there and select a subtype (which depends on their first input). Above the input of subtype I've created the dropdownlist from step 1, so they'll be able to see what they've chosen. The problem is hard to explain, but I'll try.

<?php 
$page = $_GET['p'];

$gotchatype = $_POST['gotchatype'];
$gotchasubtype = $_POST['gotchasubtype'];

if($page == gotcha){
if($gotchatype == movies) {
	if($gotchasubtype == rip){
		<!-- Form of step 3 --!>
	}
	<!-- Form of step 2 --!>
}
<!-- Form of step 1 --!>
}
?>

 

But since I've 'DISABLED' the dropdown box that they've chosen earlier it doesn't send that part, so it doesn't go further than if($page == gotcha){.

I hope that you understand my problem.

 

Regards,

 

EDIT:

I've made the script more 'simple' to understand.

Save the POSTed data to the session. Then when the page loads you can set the previously selected values using the SESSION data.

Thanks, I think I might be able to do that, but that would take a lot of time. Isn't it possible to send the information from a 'Disabled' dropdown-box? Like:

<form method="POST" action="page.php">
<select name="gotcha-type" DISABLED>
<option value="movies">Movies / Images</option>
</select>
</form>

Right now it sends the information if I remove 'DISABLED' (of course, totally logic), but is it also possible to keep it sending while it is disabled?

If you really need it to be sent with a form, rename the select field to 'gotcha-type fake' and add a hidden input field with the actual name 'gotcha-type' with value  you need.

No, disable fields don't get passed because they are disabled. That's kind of the point of disabling them.
