retrieving php values from another page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi

Have a slight problem here, i have an application form where the user types in the particulars for and when he submits the form will direct it to a confirm page where the values are retrieved thru $_REQUEST and displayed for the user’s confirmation. Once the user confirms the application, the values are supposedly sent to another page where it is added to the database.
My problem here would be: how can it be possible to retieve the values again to the 3rd page now that they are php variables?

Regards
Eugene

@hastxAug 13.2007 — There are a number of ways to do it.
[LIST]
  • [*]You have already harvested the data, so you could pre-populate a second form on ON the confirmation page with it ...then that form gets posted to the processing script.

  • [*]Pass the data to hidden inputs on the confirmation page.

  • [*]Write the data to a database and retrieve it later.

    • [/LIST]

    I think I remember a post about this type of thing using sessions too, I'll see if I can find it.
