@ConorauthorMar 02.2004 — hmm this will be tough to explain. I run a forum system and we have a money system and a store and stuff. Now we also have a thing called "user stores" so users can make deals with each other on the boards. For my user store im using php so i need it to fill out the donate form with my name and the "money" amount and submit it.

@ConorauthorMar 02.2004 — the user stores is a forum where users discuss deals its not a php file

[font=arial]You could use sessions to send information from one page to another without having to use a form at all.

If the forum uses PHP, the page would have to be a PHP file. If it's not, it should be. All you have to do is rename it, then use PHP code.[/font]

[font=arial]OK, this is kind of like programming with your eyes closed, for me... Blech...

Okay, if the file [b]is[/b] a PHP file, you can process the form data (that you would have sent to the other page but aren't going to because you can process it on the current PHP page) on the current PHP page. So why would you need to submit a form if you can do the processing on the same page?[/font]
