Re: Passing variables in a multiple part form

Not sure if this is what you want or not... <? echo "<table border='2' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'>\n"; for ($y = 0; $y < 2 AND $y < $roomcount; $y++) { echo "<tr>\n"; echo "<td width='100'><input type='text' name='Room[$y][]' size='20'></td>\n"; echo "<td width='100'><input type='text' name='Room[$y][]' size='20'></td>\n"; echo "<td width='100'><input type='text' name='Room[$y][]' size='20'></td>\n"; echo "<td width='100'><input type='text' name='Room[$y][]' size='20'></td>\n"; echo "</tr>\n"; } echo "</table>\n"; ?> This will create a a multidimentional array Room[0][0] Room[0][1] Room[0][2] Room[0][3] Room[1][0] Room[1][1] Room[1][2] Room[1][3] You can't have four variables all named Room1 and Room2 the client will only accept the last one. This might have been what you wanted. if so change Room[$y][] to Room$y then you will only have two variables, Room1 Room2 each will only contain the value typed into the last text box. ie line 9 thats it.

I am using PHP3.016 I would like help in setting up the ability to pass a variable from one form into the second part of the same form and then again to a third and perhaps 4th part of the same form. Basically I have a rough setup on mysite at http://mackey-decorating.com/CSForm_start.php3 The first part works fine as does the second part. However after that the variables that are created during the loop which makes the table and inserts the textareas for data collection are lost when the function ends. The third part of this form works only because I wrote the code for each individual table cell. Very time consuming and inefficient. (Sample) $y=1; Print " <table border=\"2\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"1\">\n"; Print " <tr>\n"; Print " <td width=\"100\">\n"; if ($y<$roomcount) { print " $Room1\n"; Print " </td>\n"; Print "<td width=\"100\">\n"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print "</td>\n"; Print " <td width=\"100\">\n"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print "</td>\n"; Print "<td width=\"100\">\n"; Print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print " </td>\n"; Print " <td width=\"100\">\n"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print " </td>\n"; Print "</tr>\n"; Print " <tr>\n"; Print " <td width=\"100\">\n"; } $y=$y+1; if ($y<$roomcount) { print" $Room2\n"; Print " </td>\n"; Print "<td width=\"100\">\n"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print "</td>\n"; Print " <td width=\"100\">\n"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print "</td>\n"; Print "<td width=\"100\">\n"; Print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print " </td>\n"; Print " <td width=\"100\">\n"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Room$y\" size=\"20\">\n"; Print " </td>\n"; Print "</tr>\n"; Print " <tr>\n"; Print " <td width=\"100\">\n"; } (End sample) All help will be appreciated.
