Select Box

[j05hr]

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?

 

Thanks

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.
