displaying data

[dan_t]

I know this is probably a "no" answer, but -- is there a way to take data from a form and append it to a page ( like entering it yourself to a web page) without having to store the data on a database?

If I understand what you are saying...let's say you have an html page with one text box with the name 'address.'

 

The form action is process.php.  The code:

$address = $_POST['address'];
// Redirect to another page, appending value to url
header("location: file.php?address={$address}");
exit():

Then in file.php you could do w/e you wanted with that

// In file.php
$address = $_GET['address'];
// Do something

 

However, I don't see why you would pass on values to another script when you could just process them in one script...

I'm horrible at explaining things, but I'll try.

You have a person come onto your site. You want them to fill out a form so they can have their own page with the information they filled out, like in comments.

Each person uses the same form, the form I thing has to go to the same file I guess? action="whatever".

You can't get that information to their own page without information going into a database can you?

There would be no way to store it, correct?

You could store it in a text file...but that is much more difficult (imho) to process.

I had heard the word "sticky" used and wasn't sure what it meant.

I don't know what you're talking about...

 

Has your question been answered?

[dan_t]

Yes that's fine, I looked it up, googled making forms sticky

Okay.  I just didn't recall you saying anything about that in your OP and I was confused.  If the topic is solved -> please click the topic solved button.
