Multi page forms

Can' get all the info carried through

I am creating a multi page job application in php that people will complete here at my home. my goal is to have applicants complete the form, then be presented with a screen w/ their info that can be printed. my problem is that I can't get all of the info carried through to the "review" page. only the info from the preceding page is presented. I know it's most likely a scripting error on my part, but I have no clue. if anyone wants to look at it and laugh at my coding, the form is at [denniscrandall.com ]Any help would be appreciated!

Hello and Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

How are you passing the data from one page to another? Are you using sessions [php.net]? If not you should probably consider this so that you have all the data as you move from page to page.

Yes, I am using sessions (at least i believe I am). I'm new to php, so am unsure what I'm doing.

My first form code;

The application actually has several morre pages, but hopefully this is a good idea of what I'm doing.

First off, remove the session_register() function calls. Not only are they unnecessary, but the use of that function is depreciated. Secondly, I would check all your error logs for problems starting the session (e.g., due to headers already being sent). If the session isn't starting properly, then that is your problem.

OK, I'm stupid...how can I check the error logs?

Show us a snipped of the code from the final page where you are trying to display the collected info.

After enabling error reporting in the php.ini file. i get the following in every field; Warning: main(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

of course, different line numbers

I'm not sure about your time zone thing but your code says this:

<?php echo $_POST['ssn1']; ?>

Shouldn't it say this:

<?php echo $_SESSION['ssn1']; ?>

Nope...that didn't work either.

I dont see where it would make a difference but did you try setting the timezone...there is a way to do that within your code.

I tried setting iit in the php.ini filem but it made no diferance.. I'm getting so darn frustrated with my inability to get the hang of this, that I'm ready to raise the white flag!

There are a lot of little problems here. Like you can't use $_SESSION and session_register in the same script. As stated above, it's best to use $_SESSION

Also, I'm not sure what you're doing but the array $_POST only lasts until the next form is posted, so if dobmo is submitted on page 2 and there are more than 2 pages, then you can't access it with $_POST on the last page. Also it is useful to know that $_POST cannot overwrite variables that are already stored in $_SESSION

So probably best to take a look at
[php.net...]

and review the different things.

I would use hidden fields throughout, that is a sure-fire way of getting the data from page to page.

Instead of passing things by session, I would stick previous page values into fields which have the hidden type. That way they are passed back during each subsequent submit until you reach the final page and then you can stick them in the table to display them.

You can also use a multi-page form by using ajax to pass your information to php scripts for validation or what have you and passing back the results by using the technique of adding a script member to the document.

function attach_file( p_script_url ) {
// create new script element, set its relative URL, and load it
script = document.createElement( 'script' );
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = p_script_url;
document.getElementsByTagName( 'head' )[0].appendChild( script );
}

if (window.XMLHttpRequest){
var http_req=new XMLHttpRequest(); // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
var http_req2=new XMLHttpRequest(); // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
var http_req3=new XMLHttpRequest(); // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
} else {
var http_req=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); // code for IE6, IE5
var http_req2=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); // code for IE6, IE5
var http_req3=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); // code for IE6, IE5
}
function handlePost(sendString)
{
var oStr='ID' + encodeURI(UIF_ID) + '&field_1=' + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_1').value) + "'&field_2='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_2').value) + "'&field_3='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_3').value) + "'&field_4='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_4').value) + "'&field_5='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_5').value) + "'&field_6='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_6').value) + "'&field_7='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_7').value) + "'&field_8='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_8').value) + "'&field_9='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_9').value) + "'&field_10='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_10').value) + "'&field_11='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_11').value) + "'&field_12='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_12').value) + "'&field_14='" + encodeURI(sendString)+ "'&field_15='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_15').value) + "'&field_22='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_15').value) + "'&field_23='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_23').value) + "'&field_24='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_24').value) + "'&field_25='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_25').value) + "'&field_26='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_26').value) + "'&field_27='" + encodeURI(document.getElementById('field_27').value) + "'";

http_req.open("POST","edit_processor.php",false);
http_req.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
http_req.setRequestHeader("Content-length", oStr.length);
http_req.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
http_req.send(oStr);
var myResponse=http_req.responseText;

if(myResponse=="SUCCESS")
return true;
else {
alert(myResponse+": Please contact site administrator!");
return false;
}

return false;
}

Multi page forms

Can' get all the info carried through
