Using PHP to auto populate fields via a link

Hello all,

noob here. I just want to know if this is possible with PHP.

I have a site that’s a simple budget calculator. What I want to do is capture all the different numerical inputs from a user once he or she is done calculating, and have a field at the bottom where they can enter in someone’s email. This someone will receive a link back to my website, where it will show the form that the initial user filled out. i.e. so they can create a budget, modify it, and share it with each other, without ever having to print to a PDF, an email, or something like that.

Thanks for help.

*edit:* also, this link would not contain any of the numerical values. it would just be a hash.

@NogDogAug 08.2012 — You could store the values in a DB row, along with the hash you're going to use for the link. Then when the link is clicked, query the DB on that hash field to get the relevant data.

Success!
