j05hr Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hi, I'm trying to make a 3 page registration form. On the 3rd page I want it to echo back all the options they have selected. I can get the input type to work but having problems with the selects. First Page <form action="choose.password.php" method="post"> eMail: <input type="text" name="eMail" /><br /> Forename: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br /> Surname: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br /> Date of Birth: <input type="text" name="dob" /><br /> Gender: <select name="gender"> <option value="male">Male</option> <option value="female">Female</option> </select> <br /> I am not a lawyer: <input type="checkbox" name="lawyer" value="lawyer"> <br /> <br /> <input type="submit" value="Next" /> </form> Second Page <form action="confirm.details.php" method="post"> <p>email address: <?php echo $_POST["eMail"]; ?></p> <p>password: <input type="password" name="eMail" /></p> <p>Confirm Password: <input type="password" name="eMail" /></p> <p>Hint: <input type="text" name="hint" /></p> <p>My email is correct, I am happy to be sent occassional emails, and i am not a family lawyer. <input type="checkbox" name="lawyer" value="lawyer"></p> <input type="hidden" name="fname" value="<?php echo ($_POST["fname"]); ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="eMail" value="<?php echo ($_POST["eMail"]); ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="lname" value="<?php echo ($_POST["lname"]); ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="dob" value="<?php echo ($_POST["dob"]); ?>" /> <select style="display:none;" name="gender" <?php echo ($_POST["gender"]); ?> /> <p><input type="submit" value="Next" /></p> Third page <p>Please confirm your details are correct to register.</p> <p>Email Address: <?php echo $_POST["eMail"]; ?> <p>Forename: <?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?></p> <p>Surname: <?php echo $_POST["lname"]; ?></p> <p>Date of Birth: <?php echo $_POST["dob"]; ?></p> <p>Gender: <?php echo $_POST["gender"]; ?></p> How can I make the select work and echo it back on the third page?

Pikachu2000 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Use an <input type=hidden field to store the value of the <option> from the select, just as you've done with the other fields, or store the value in a $_SESSION var. The way you're doing it now won't work because <select> tags have no value attribute.
