[RESOLVED] How to Preview then Submit

[monarch_684]

I am wanting for the user to be able to preview, and edit, before they submit a form to process. Any suggestions.

page1.php

<form action="page2.php" method="post">
Name : <input name="name">
<input type="submit" value="GO">
</form> 

page2.php

<form action="page3.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>">
Name : <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Confirm">
</form>

page3.php

var_dump($_POST);

Thanks for the help even though

var_dump($_POST);

did not work, but I used your

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>">

and saw what needed to be done to do what I wanted to do.

Thanks Again.

I guess I should post what I did.

form.html

<form method="POST" action="preview.php">
		<p>Employee Name:  <input type="text" name="name" /></p>

		<p>Requesting PTO for <input type="text" name="hours" />hour(s) for the date of <input type="text" name="date" /></p>
		<p>Requesting PTO from (beginning)<input type="text" name="beginDate" /> to (end) <input type="text" name="endDate" /></p>
		<p>Submitted By<input type="text" name="signature" /> Supervisor 
		<select name="supervisor">
			<option name="supervisor" value="email">John Doe</option>
			<option name="supervisor" value="email">Jane Doe</option>
		</select></p>
		<input type="submit" value="Submit"><input type="reset" value="Reset">
	

preview.php

This is also a form so that you can submit it.

<form method="post" action="submit.php">

echo "<p>Employee Name: <b>" .$_POST["name"]. "</b></p>";
        echo "<p>Requesting PTO for<b> " .$_POST["hours"]. " </b>hour(s) for the date of<b> " .$_POST["date"]. " </b></p>";
        echo "<p>or</p>";
        echo "<p>Requesting PTO from (beginning)<b> ".$_POST["beginDate"]." </b>to (end)<b> ".$_POST["endDate"]." </b></p>";
        echo "<p>Submitted By:<b> ".$_POST["signature"]." </b></p>";
        echo "<p>Supervisor:<b> ".$_POST["supervisor"]." </b></p>";
        echo "<p><input type='button' value='Print' class='hidden' onclick='window.print();return false;' />";
        echo "<input type='button' value='Edit Form' class='hidden' onClick='history.go(-1)' />";
        echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit' /></p>";
        echo "<input type='hidden' name='name' value='".$_POST["name"]."' />";
        echo "<input type='hidden' name='hours' value='".$_POST["hours"]."' />";
        echo "<input type='hidden' name='date' value='".$_POST["date"]."' />";
        echo "<input type='hidden' name='beginDate' value='".$_POST["beginDate"]."' />";
        echo "<input type='hidden' name='endDate' value='".$_POST["endDate"]."' />";
        echo "<input type='hidden' name='signature' value='".$_POST["signature"]."' />";
        echo "<input type='hidden' name='supervisor' value='".$_POST["supervisor"]."' />"; 

submit.php

echo "<p>Your PTO Request has been submitted</p>";
        echo "<p>You will now be redirected to the Intranet in 5 seconds</p>";                
        
        $msg = "PTO Request \n";
        $msg .= "Name: ".$_POST["name"]. "\n";
        $msg .= "How many hours: ".$_POST["hours"]. " hours on ".$_POST["date"]."\n";
        $msg .= "What days: ".$_POST["beginDate"]. " - ".$_POST["endDate"]. "\n";
        $msg .= "Signature: ".$_POST["signature"]. "\n"; 
        $msg .= "Delete below lines before forwarding!!! \n"
        
        
        $to = "".$_POST["supervisor"];
        $subject = "PTO Request from ".$_POST["name"];
        $mailheader = "From: PTO_Request";
        
        mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheader); 

This works great.

I am using this to also send to user selected email.
