处理跨多个表单的HTML表单数据所需的建议

Question

I have created two HTML forms of which both ask for a customers name & telephone with the other form fields asking for different information because they are for different services.

Both forms can be completed individually without the other being completed for example, form 1 needs to be completed if a customer is purchasing a brand new product & then if they want to take out maintenance on that product they tick a checkbox & it takes them to form 2 which asks for some of the same information so to save them entering all that information again I want it to display their previous input info in the fields to show they no longer need to enter it again.

However, they may not want to purchase a new product as they already have one but want to take out maintenance therefore they can fill in form 2 from a blank form.

So I am after the best method to approach this whether it's with PHP or JavaScript.

Sorry for the long winded explanation.

Thx. Lee.

Answer 1

Use JS to handle the form side of things and then feed that into a PHP service. You can handle all the form processing on the JS side and just have a PHP method take all the information if isset and proceed. Best way from a UI perspective.
