Redirect and send post vars?

[therealwesfoster]

I have a page2.php. On there is a form. A required field is "phone" and the form sends POST to page3.php.

 

On page3.php i want to check if $_POST['phone'] is set, and if not, go back to page2.php and keep the postdata so I can automatically fill-in the form fields.

 

How can i do this?

I would store it into a session variable. Or, have page2.php POST to itself, then you don't have to redirect if it doesn't validate.

Good idea, I'll try it.

 

Or, have page2.php POST to itself, then you don't have to redirect if it doesn't validate.

But if it DID validate on page2.php, I would still have to have it redirect to page3.php with the post vars. But thanks for the first suggestion.

 

I'll let you know how it goes. People, feel free to post more solutions.
