shanetastic Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have a page that has roughly 100 text input fields. Once the user is done, I need to put the data in my mysql db. How do I get the data from the user input page to the php page that will process the data (e.g. process.php)? I've done some searching and found a few possibilities [*]use a ajax style call back to load a seperate asp page (e.g. createsession.asp) and that page set session variables that can then be read by process.php [*]write everything to a cookie using some sort of a delimiter so that it can handle multiple variables (e.g. cookie data => var1/var2/var3/var4... [*]write all the data to a text file and then have process.php load that file Which should I pursue? Is there a better option?

requinix Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 You can't just point the form action=process.php? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247908-best-way-to-pass-a-lot-of-user-input-to-another-page/#findComment-1272995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanetastic Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Glad I asked before I started coding some ridiculous method! So it looks like all I have to do is use action=destination.php and method=post. I thought form data had to be passed in the URL unless you used a script to do something like a was proposing. This is obviously much easier. Thanks!

WebStyles Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 ... and why would you even consider asp ? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/247908-best-way-to-pass-a-lot-of-user-input-to-another-page/#findComment-1273004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
