[SOLVED] Is this form possible?

[dfowler]

Hey guys, I have to have 4 identical forms, and I was curious if this is possible?

 

for ($counter = 1; $counter < 5; $counter += 1) {
echo "<form name='friends' action='thanks.php' method='post'>";
echo "<table>\n";
echo "\t<tr>\n";
echo "\t\t<td>".$counter.". Name: <input name='name[".$counter."]' type='text' size='20'> Address: <input name='address[".$counter."]' type='text' size='25'></td>\n";
echo "\t</tr>\n";
echo "\t<tr>\n";
echo "\t\t<td>City: <input name='city[".$counter."]' type='text' size='15'> State: <input name='state[".$counter."]' type='text' maxlength='2' size='2'> Zip: <input name='zip[".$counter."]' type='text' maxlength='5' size='5'></td>\n";
echo "\t</tr>\n";
echo "\t<tr>\n";
echo "\t\t<td>Email: <input name='email[".$counter."]' type='text' size='20'> Phone: <input name='phone[".$counter."]' type='text' maxlength='12' size='10'><small> 555-555-5555</small></td>\n";
echo "\t</tr>\n";
echo "</table>\n";
if($counter != 4) {
	echo "<hr />\n";
}
}

 

This prints out 4 forms pefectly, but my problem is:  How do I get the info on the next page?  I've tried

foreach($_POST['name'] as $k => $v) {

--and--

for($counter = 1; $counter < 5; $counter += 1) {
$name.$counter = $_POST['name'][$counter];
}

 

I know these don't work,  but I'm not sure how to get the info.  I can do this all manually, but I guess I'm being lazy.  Thanks for any help!

Form:

 

<?php
echo "<form name='friends' action='thanks.php' method='post'>";
for ($counter = 1; $counter < 5; $counter += 1) {
echo "<table>\n";
echo "\t<tr>\n";
echo "\t\t<td>".$counter.". Name: <input name='name[".$counter."]' type='text' size='20'> Address: <input name='address[".$counter."]' type='text' size='25'></td>\n";
echo "\t</tr>\n";
echo "\t<tr>\n";
echo "\t\t<td>City: <input name='city[".$counter."]' type='text' size='15'> State: <input name='state[".$counter."]' type='text' maxlength='2' size='2'> Zip: <input name='zip[".$counter."]' type='text' maxlength='5' size='5'></td>\n";
echo "\t</tr>\n";
echo "\t<tr>\n";
echo "\t\t<td>Email: <input name='email[".$counter."]' type='text' size='20'> Phone: <input name='phone[".$counter."]' type='text' maxlength='12' size='10'><small> 555-555-5555</small></td>\n";
echo "\t</tr>\n";
echo "</table>\n";
if($counter != 4) {
	echo "<hr />\n";
}
}
echo "</form>";
?>

 

the PHP script:

<?php
  for($counter = 1; $counter < 5; $counter += 1) {
    echo "Results for {$counter}:\n";
    foreach($_POST as $key=>$val)
      echo "{$key}: {$val[$counter]}\n";
  }
?>

 

hope that helps

Hi

 

Hope this helps

 

put this on your main page

<?
for ($c = 1; $c <= 4; $c ++) 
{?>
<form name='friends' action='thankyou.php' method='post'>
<table>
<tr>
<td><?=$c?> Name: <input name='name<?=$c?>' type='text' size='20'> Address: <input name='address<?=$c?>' type='text' size='25'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City: <input name='city<?=$c?>' type='text' size='15'> State: <input name='state<?=$c?>' type='text' maxlength='2' size='2'> Zip: <input name='zip<?=$c?>' type='text' maxlength='5' size='5'>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Email: <input name='email<?=$c?>' type='text' size='20'> Phone: <input name='phone<?=$c?>' type='text' maxlength='12' size='10'><small> 555-555-5555</small>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?
if($c != 4) {
	echo "<hr />";
}
}
//added
?>
<input name="count" type="hidden" value="<?=$c?>" />



<label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send to next page" />
</label>
</form>

 

put this on your thank you page.

<?
for($i=1;$i< $_POST['count'];$i++)
{
echo 'Name :'.$_POST['name'.$i] ; 
echo '<br/>' ;
echo 'Address :'.$_POST['address'.$i] ; 
echo '<br/>' ;
echo 'City :'.$_POST['city'.$i] ;
echo '<br/>' ;
echo 'State :'.$_POST['state'.$i] ; 
echo '<br/>' ;
echo 'Zip :'.$_POST['zip'.$i] ;
echo '<br/>' ;
echo 'E-Mail :'.$_POST['email'.$i] ;
echo '<br/>' ;
echo 'Phone :'.$_POST['phone'.$i] ;
echo '<br/>' ; 
echo '<hr/>' ; 
}
?>
