displaying info from form on a different page

[maciek4]

[quote]I want to gather information from the user and display it on another page.

In the file commit.php I have 2 fields

Product name:
Description:

[code]
<TR><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="middle" width="40%"> Product name:&nbsp;
</TD>
<TD ALIGN="right" valign="middle"><input name="name" size="27" type="text"></TD>
</TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="middle">Description:&nbsp;</TD>
   <TD ALIGN="right">  <textarea name="desc" rows="5"></textarea>
   </TD>
   </TR>
[/code]

And in the file add_new.php I want to display whatever text user wrote in those two fields Product name and description.

[code]
<?php
                    
if (isset ($_POST['name']) || isset ($_POST['desc']))
   {
   echo'<form action="add_new.php" method="POST" name="submit">
   <TR><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="middle" width="40%"> Product name:&nbsp;
</TD>
<TD ALIGN="right" valign="middle"><input name="name" size="27" type="text" value="'.$_POST['name'].'"></TD>
</TR>
<TR><TD ALIGN="right" VALIGN="middle">Description:&nbsp;</TD>
   <TD ALIGN="right"><textarea name="desc" rows="5" value="'.$_POST['desc'].'"></textarea>
   </TD>
   </TR>
   </form>';
}
?>  
[/code]

Unfortunatelly nothing is displayed althought there are no errors.[/quote]

What's in your <form> tag? Is its action pointing to the right file and the method set as POST? Also might be useful to check the source of the page that gets returned. That way you'd know if it's just your $_POST variables not being output, or the whole thing, or parts of it.

For something like this, I'd more likely use HereDoc syntax:

echo <<<END
[i]... HTML with variable interpolation ...[/i]
END;

but it's just a matter of preference. :)
