Passing Form Fields through URL

[Wildhalf]

Hi,

What i am trying to do is wass a value ( 54292kg ) to a form on someone else's website. This site collects 3 things Your name, your email and a code ( 54292kg is my code).  I want to fill in the code for the user.

Is this possible???

I could even have a different webpage that sends the user to this page if needed

Only if the receiving page is built to accept the data on the URL and to populate the fields. Usually the fields must be named the same in the url as they are on the form, so you could easily test if they will accept it.

couldn't you do

[code]
<?php
$code = $_GET[code];
echo "
<form name=yo action=gocode.php method=post><br>
Code: <input type=text name=code value=$code><br>
<input type=submit value=Go>
";
?>
[/code]

@mgallforever,

He stated that it is "a form on someone else's website."

mgallforever's code is a good example. The 'receiving' page/form needs to grab the code from the URL using the $_GET parameter which then sets the value for the $code variable. Then, in their form code, they populate the field with the variable:

[quote]Code: <input type=text name=code value=$code>[/quote]

To pass the code you'd need in your form script (in the action="yourscript.php") the command to do that. Probably a 'header' function similar to:

[code]<?php
header("Location: http://www.theirsite.com/formpage.php?code=54292kg")
?>[/code]
