hey there, i have three pages: (1) bookingfacilities.php (2) booking_now.php (3) successfulbooking.php and they are link together.
i want to pass data from bookingfacilities.php to successfulbooking.php by using hidden field/value. however, my data doesn't get print out in successfulbooking.php.
here are my codes:
from 'booking_now.php':
$date="$day-$month-$year";
from 'successfulbooking.php';
<input type="hidden" name="date" id="hiddenField" value="<?php print "$date" ?>"/>
i would greatly appreciate your help as my project is due tomorrow :(
You should never assume register_global_variables is turned on. Even if it is, it's deprecated and you should never use it that way.
Refer directly to the $_POST or $_GET variables. Most likely your form is POSTing, so you'd want your code to look something along the lines of this:
<input type="hidden" name="date" id="hiddenField" value="<?php echo $_POST['date'] ?>" />
If this doesn't work for you right away, print out the $_POST or $_GET variable on the page that would have the hidden form field and determine exactly what you want and refer to it.
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
I'm not sure what you just did there, but from what I can tell this is what you're asking for:
bookingfacilities.php
<form action="successfulbooking.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="date" value="<?php echo $date; ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form">
</form>
successfulbooking.php
<?php
$date = $_POST['date'];
// add code here
?>
Not sure what you want to do with that third page(booking_now.php) too.
You have to use $_POST['date'] instead of $date if it's coming from a POST request ($_GET if it's a GET request).
Maybe a little late to the party but why don't you use sessions to store your data?
bookingfacilities.php
session_start();
$_SESSION['form_date'] = $date;
successfulbooking.php
session_start();
$date = $_SESSION['form_date'];
Nobody will see this.
