Passing values to another form 1 year, 9 months ago #10493

So I have two forms: form1 and form2. Form1 shows on the front page and has two fields: name and email. Form2 is buried within the pages and has 10 fields, but also includes name and email.

Now I don't want my clients to have to enter their name and email twice; so, is there a way to pass the value from form1 into form2?

I've set up the form2 page URL as the thank-you URL, so now that displays as the form's action URL (in the source code).

I've read the FAQ where it says how to pass a variable through URL and how to catch it; that method works, however, I can't have my clients manually input the values into the address bar (duh).

So, basically, the question is: how to pass variables from one form to another?

Thanks,
Bogdan

I figured it out

I added this code to be executed AFTER the form process (for form1):

if (isset($_POST['form']['Name']))
{
$name = $_POST['form']['Name'];
header('Location: <your default action URL for the form, see the web page source code>&myname='.$name);
exit();
}

And this is the default value for the relevant textfield in the form2

//<code>
$myname_value = $_GET['myname'];
return $myname_value;
//</code>

Works like a charm.
