How do I merge two data forms in PHP and make one of them hidden?

Two people cannot fill out two separate forms at the same time in the same client in the same session. And how does B fill out a "hidden" form anyway?

 

Maybe you want to sit back and take a break and re-describe your scenario? Remember we can't see what you are looking at so you have to be very specific in how you describe the activities you want to happen.

And what's the purpose of that? Why do you want the other person to see a bunch of dots? Again: Give us the full picture, don't just repeat the same generic one-sentence description.

 

In any case, you don't “send a form”. You can make person A fill out a form, store the data, then make person B fill out a form and finally merge the data. But I have no idea why you would want to prefill the second form with dots.

It sounds kind of like when two people grade each other.  Buyer A and Seller B perform an interaction.  After the interaction, the broker asks both of them to grade the other, but neither can see what the other said into they have both graded one another.  Is this what you are attempting to accomplish?

yes that is correct I want the input of one form not to be readable to another filler of the same form

Do they need to fill out the form at the same time? In other words, do you really need to combine both forms so that each party can see that other person is filling out their portion?

 

Perhaps you could build a system which assigns a common identifier that both parties use to fill out their portion. Both pieces would then be saved to a database and connected with that identifier. Then you could have a separate script that combines both responses for whoever needs to see the results.

Not simultaneously filled in both both forms or fields need to be merged.  Your idea sounds good :idea:

Why does Person B need to see that Person A filled in the form. Why you just redirect him to a different page after he filled in the page, so he can see the answer of person A after. And if he filled in the form it also sends this link to Person A so he can see what B filled in?

 

both fill in the same form but one part is not visible to the other 

 

And if they really can't know what the other filled in. Why do they need to see if the other one filled the form? There is no point to that right? Why you need to see dots if that's just the same as seeing nothing in this particular case?

In case you didn't see it, this was covered in a previous post. See Reply #19.
