Well I have made a form in html and i need the information which is entered into the form to be shown to the user in a different page

so I have a Ticket request page and i have made a Confirmation_Page.php

Ticket request page:

has this

The ticket request page has (Just one example so eg. the forename:

<label>Forename

</label>

And corresponding to this in the Confirmation_Page.php it is :

Your forename is : <?php echo $_GET["Forename"];?>

Now the thing is when I enter info in the form inside the ticket request page and click submit

It takes me to the Confirmation_Page.php

HOWEVER It doesn't show me the information I've inputed it into the form

Eg.It only shows

Your forename is :

please help me I need to hand this in by monday

thanks to everyone who tries to help me :l

The input field is name Forname, you are trying to display a variable named Forename.

Replace the following line from the Confirmation_Page.php

Your forename is :  <?php echo $_GET["Forename"];?><br />

To the following

Your forename is :  <?php echo $_GET["Forname"];?><br />

Tell me how it goes

Regards, PaulRyan.

Thank you for the quick reply

I tried that but it unfortunately didn't work

In the form I also have things like

surname

email

class

none of these work :l

I can provide print screens as well.

powW · April 9, 2011

This is my form

This is what i get when i click Submit

This is the code in the confirmation page

Instead of posting screenshots of the code, just post the code between

 . . .

tags so it can actually be debugged by someone willing to take the time to do so.

The only 2 problems I see initially are below. Otherwise, you should be getting the values for the rest of the from fields echoed when the form is submitted.

Look at the name= attribute . . .

<input type="text" name="Method of Payment (Cash or Cheque)" id="Method of Payment (Cash or Cheque)" />

And the spelling/mismatch of the array index.

Your method of payment is :  <?php echo $_GET["Method_of_payment"];?><br />

I might have done something wrong on the New site / manage site in dreamweaver if I show you what I did would you beable to see if somethings wrong?

At the top of the Confirmation_page.php script, add the following lines and post the output generated when the form is submitted:

echo '////// $_GET array: //////<br><pre>';
print_r($_GET);
echo '</pre><br>////// End $_GET array //////';

[/code]

Yeah, enclose it <?php ?> tags . . .

<?php
echo '////// $_GET array: //////<br><pre>';
print_r($_GET);
echo '</pre><br>////// End $_GET array //////';
?>

So put the code at the top and instead of <?php use <?php?>

One thing to notice, You are using very long index keys, maximum length of GET is 255. Maybe You are exceeding that limit and therefor the data is missing. Try using POST or shorten Your index keys.

Also, name (html attribute) == index key (php $_GET[indexkey]! Otherwise it wont work.

umm What's an html attribute?

And what's an index key?

That isn't correct. The length limit depends on the browser, with Internet Exploder's limit being 2083 chars.

powW · April 9, 2011

Yeah, enclose it <?php ?> tags . . .

<?php
echo '////// $_GET array: //////<br><pre>';
print_r($_GET);
echo '</pre><br>////// End $_GET array //////';
?>

Yh the exact same thing happened when I put that at the top

Copy and paste the html source resulting from doing a View ---> Source in your browser, and cut and paste the entire URL string from the address bar. Something's not right here.

umm is this for the confirmation page or ticket riquest page?

Pikachu2000 · April 9, 2011

For Confirmation_page.php, after submitting the form and arriving at it.

powW · April 9, 2011

For Confirmation_page.php, after submitting the form and arriving at it.

Should I type in any values?

Or should I just keep everything empty and click submit?

Pikachu2000 · April 9, 2011

Fill it all in and submit it . . .

powW · April 9, 2011

Fill it all in and submit it . . .

PFMaBiSmAd · April 9, 2011

LOL That's not a URL.

Pikachu2000 · April 9, 2011

Stop right there. You have to load the file into the web browser by calling it from the webserver. http://localhost/, not file:///C:/. And you'll want to remane any directories in there so they have no spaces in the names.
