Passing Form Data Through A Page

[kyleldi]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm in the process of creating a new form that stores customer input into a MySQL database.  What i'm attempting to do is allow them to fill out their data, and hit 'next' to go on to a file upload form.  Upon completing that form and submitting, all information (including their data from page 1) is posted at the same time (so it's all under the same ID).  What would be the easiest way to do this?  Right now my submit file (submitquote.php) contains the following data (all on one page).

 

<?php
include("global.inc.php");
$errors=0;
$error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";
pt_register('POST','date');
pt_register('POST','company');
pt_register('POST','name');
pt_register('POST','address');
pt_register('POST','city');
pt_register('POST','state');
pt_register('POST','zipcode');
pt_register('POST','phonenumber');
pt_register('POST','extension');
pt_register('POST','fax');
pt_register('POST','email');
pt_register('POST','website');
pt_register('POST','instructions');
$instructions=preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/"," <br />", $instructions);pt_register('POST','quantity');
$file01=$HTTP_POST_FILES['file01'];
$file02=$HTTP_POST_FILES['file02'];
$file03=$HTTP_POST_FILES['file03'];
if($name=="" || $email=="" || $instructions=="" ){
$errors=1;
$error.="<li>You did not enter one or more of the required fields. Please go back and try again.";
}
if($HTTP_POST_FILES['file01']['tmp_name']==""){ }
else if(!is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['file01']['tmp_name'])){
$error.="<li>The file, ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file01']['name'].", was not uploaded!";
$errors=1;
}

store the first form values in SESSION variables (or an array), then reference those after the file upload, when you're ready to insert the data into MySQL.
