OK so I have two different types of forms and I want to use one form to submit them both. I am using a auto-responder form for form1 fields= first, last and email. My second form is a contact me form fields= name. email and a body field. I am trying to use both these forms at one shot. I have a form that will post fields to each form (INDEX.PHP) the problem is I am not sure how to set up form one to post fields into form1 and form2 the way I want. I want to use the fields that match from form index.php to both the other forms (form1, form2). so name and email will go to both forms and the body field will go to form2. The main form will post first and last in the name field of form2....also as you can see from form 1 and 2 each form has a some sort of redirect page I need to work around.? I have main form:
Index.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Main Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Winner Aution Item Request Form</h2>
<p><span class="error"><FONT><font color="red">* required field.</font></span></p>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
First Name: <input type="text" name="first_name" value="<?php echo $first_name;?>">
<FONT><font color="red"> *</font>
<br>
Last Name: <input type="text" name="last_name" value="<?php echo $last_name;?>"> <FONT><font color="red"> *</font>
<br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $email;?>">
<FONT><font color="red"> *</font>
<br><br><i><b>Copy and paste auction item name below.</b></i><br>
Product Name: <input type="text" name="product_Name" rows="1" cols="10">
<?php echo $product_Name;?><FONT><font color="red"> *</font>
<input type="Submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
the above form was found on a website and was pretty close to what I want it to do but not exactly.... Form1
<?php session_start(); ?>

ass you can see from the code I was going to use sessions. But not to familiar with it even though I have experience with php I am still quite new to it and need help. I want to pars form data to both forms. and the product name to form two. any help on this would be greatly appreciated.. I hope this is clear enough for some one out there to help.....
Ok New code Three forms 1.main form submits information to form1 and form2. I have set up using a session so I have: session.php
<?php
session_start();
// store session data
$_SESSION['af_first_name'] = $af_first_name;
$_SESSION['af_last_name'] = $af_last_name;
$_SESSION['af_email'] = $af_email;
$_SESSION['cf_address'] = $cf_item_name;
?>
That handles variables. My new code for index.php
<?php
// including the session file
require_once("session_start.php")
?>
<?php
function stripZlashes($string)
{
//This function is to strip slashes for either array or a String
if (!is_array($string)) return stripslashes($string);
$nvar = array();
foreach ($string as $key => $value)
$nvar[stripslashes($key)] = stripZlashes($value);
return $nvar;
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Winner Aution Item Request Form</h2>
<p><span class="error"><FONT><font color="red">* required field.</font></span></p>
<form name="form1">
First Name: <input type="text" name="$af_first_name" id="af_first_name" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['af_first_name'])){echo stripslashes($_SESSION['af_first_name']); unset($_SESSION['af_first_name']); } ?>" /><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" name="$af_last_name" id="af_last_name" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['af_last_name'])){echo stripslashes($_SESSION['af_last_name']); unset($_SESSION['af_last_name']); } ?>" /><br>
E-Mail: <input type="text" name="$af_email" id="af_email" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['af_email'])){echo stripslashes($_SESSION['af_email']); unset($_SESSION['af_email']); } ?>" /><br>
</form>
<form name="form2">Copy and Paste Auction Name Below!<br>
Product Name <br><input type="text" name="$cf_item_name" id="cf_item_name" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['cf_item_name'])){echo stripslashes($_SESSION['cf_item_name']); unset($_SESSION['cf_item_name']); } ?>" /><br>
<input type="Submit" value="Submit" name="submit" onsubmit="form2.submit(); form3.submit();"></input>
That form takes input and sets to session. Session.php picks it up and places it in variable form. From here I used a strip for the underscores. and when it goes to form1 and form2 varables pick it up and fill in the form. Here is my new form1
<?php
function stripZlashes($string)
{
//This function is to strip slashes for either array or a String
if (!is_array($string)) return stripslashes($string);
$nvar = array();
foreach ($string as $key => $value)
$nvar[stripslashes($key)] = stripZlashes($value);
return $nvar;
}
if(!empty($_SESSION['_mf'])): //Strip all possible back slashes
stripZlashes($_SESSION['_mf']);
endif;
// including the session file
require_once("session_start.php")
?>
