Passing Variables

[michaelcunning]

hi there,

  I'm very new to php but am having a problem! I have a page that contains a form with blocks of text within labels and each block having it's own push button. The reason being that each block has information about a gift voucher and the user pushes the push button associated with the block to 'apply' for the gift voucher. Upon pushnig the button, I want the user to be presented with a page that contains the info from the block so it can be emailed.

Basically, I am looking to know how you pass the text from within a label (or labels) to a page using php or whatever. When I change the labels to text boxes, it passes to the new page fine using $_POST etc but when the text is contained within the labels it doesn't pass. Can anyone help or tell me whey $_POST won't work and what will? thanks in advance

Post your form so we can see what you're doing

Only certain things are sent when you submit a form.  Usually input's, select boxes etc.  Labels are not one of those things.  You can add a hidden input like this

<input type="hidden" name="section" value="My Section Name">

There's no way to pass text from a label to another page using php and $_POST or similar ? I could use hidden fields but then there would be repetition on the page?
