topshelfbleu Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi I've got a form that users enter an identification pin in for their first question as well as clicking a radio button(Q1.php) . They click submit and the answers are put through a couple of multiplication function and then placed in a table (alongside the pin) via Q2.php. On the Q2 page I want to place the 2nd question that the user needs to answer. Rather than making them retype the pin I was hoping to process it as a hidden field - being picked up from their Q1.php entry. This 'hidden pin echo ' process will continue throughout Q2- Q10 pages. However - I can't seem to include any php in the page after the Q1 form has been processed. Have I got my php tags messed up? <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","ca","d"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("candango", $con); $q1 =$_POST['q1']; $pin =$_POST['pin']; $ans1 = $q1 * 3; $ans2 = $q1 * 5; $ans3 = $q1 * 2; $enter_sql= "INSERT INTO aapcm2 (pin,ans1, ans2, ans3) VALUES ('$pin','$ans1','$ans2','$ans3')"; $enter_query =mysql_query($enter_sql) or die (mysql_error()); ?> <body> <p>Thank you - You have successfully entered your answers.</p><form action="q2.php" method="post"> <p>What do you think the answer to this one is? <input type="radio" name="q2" id="q2" value="-3"> <label for="q2"></label> <input name="Hidden" type="hidden" id="Hidden" value="$pin" /></p> <p> <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit"> </p> </form> <p></p> </body> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/215238-carrying-hidden-fields-in-a-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If I've interpreted what you mean correctly, value="$pin" should be value="<?php echo $pin; ?>" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/215238-carrying-hidden-fields-in-a-form/#findComment-1119409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfbleu Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 That is what I meant, and having tried it - it works. Very grateful.
