re POSTing echo POST without INPUT

[bcraig]

Ive got a form for creating a record and it posts to a confirmation page. I want the confirmation page to echo all the POST data into another form which on submit will POST to a mysql INSERT query.

 

Is this possible without having input fields on the confirmation page? or are there ways to set the input boxes to be invisable and only show the data and be non-editable??

 

PHP version:5.2.5

You can use the disabled property, (http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/input.html) or just print the data instead of printing it in a form.

but if the input is disabled it wont post again and the only way i know how to post is with a form

Possibly you could re-pass the data in a hidden input.

<input type="hidden" name...

 

Just like passing data from a text box.

well bro there are two methods to do this ...in the previewing page you can use the hidden fileds in the form just like

<input type='hidden' name='email' value="<?=$_POST['email']?>" />

or You can assin these values to the session variable in the preview page and insert the values of the session in the third page.

You could do this:

<?php

$_SESSION['posted'] = $_POST;

 

//print out post data here as regular HTML, not a form.

//Name: John Doe

//Email: john@doe.com

?>

 

Then on the next page, instead of processing the $_POST array, process the $_SESSION['posted'] array.

Cool thanks! I might try using session sometime but for now I think ill use

 

<input type='hidden' name='email' value="<?php echo $_POST['email']?>" /><p><?php echo $_POST['email']?></p>

Its a better way that when you first post the data "Save Data in Session". Later on second post Collect data from session and save in Database.

 

Example :

(1) Save Data in sesison
$_SESSION['data'] = array();
if(isset($_POST)){
   foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
           $_SESSION['data'][$key] = $value;
}
(2) On Next page you will found all data in Array
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SESSION['data']);
