RE: [PHP-WIN] Need help with functions

I'm not sure if i properly understand what you need, but *if* i understand; you need to pass the ENTIRE form to a function. On the HTML form, name all form fields somethign like: "form[name]" "form[email]" Then, whatever function needs the ENTIRE form, just pass it the $form array. If you want to preserve form elements, try using $form['prev'] = serialize($form); then making a hidden field named 'prev', and on the *next* form use: unserialize($form['prev']); to get at the "previous" values. --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation ScottH@eac.com Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Sears [mailto:rsears@onet.net] > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 9:22 PM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] Need help with functions > > > I'm into developing a shopping cart using PHP (naturally) and > am running > into a little snag. > I need to be able to perform several tasks within the framework of a > <form></form> construct: > > 1) Call a function from within the module; > 2) Call an external PHP module (no return) with the > contents of ALL > elements within the form; > 3) Call an external (or a function) that will overlay a > smaller window > to display cart contents and > have the customer click a button to close the window > (return?). > All FORM contents needed; > > Here is the pseudo code, subject to MAJOR change (obviously) ... > > <? > function function_one() > { > print ("I'm in function one ..."); > } > ?> > <html> > <head> > </head> > <body> > <form> > This is program one ... > <? > print ("<a href=\"bob2.php\"> click here</a>"); <---- > This needs to > transfer to > > another module, > not returning. > print ("<input type=???">); <---- > This needs to > enter function_one > and remain > within the module > print ("???????????????"); <---- > This needs to > transfer to another > > module (or call > another function > > within this > module) to open another > > window, display > the contents of a > > shopping cart, > then have the customer > > click a button > to close with window. > ?> > </form> > </body> > </html> > > Can anyone return this with some pseudo code? > > Bob >
