I have these two forms that submits to different blocks of the same script. i am unable to access variable of one block in other, though both variables are in same script.
html form :(1.php)
<html>
<form method="POST" action="2.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
</br>
Choose a user name:</font>
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save and Proceed">
</form>
</html>
2.php:
<?php
$name=$_POST['username'];
if ((isset($_POST['username'])) && ($_POST['submit'] == 'Save and Proceed'))
{
$name=$_POST['username'];
echo $name;
if($name=='azra')
{
?>
<html>
<form method="POST" action="2.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"></br>
enter age:</font>
<input type="text" name="age">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="done">
</form>
</html>
<?php
}
}
if((isset($_POST['age'])) && ($_POST['submit'] == 'done'))
{
$age=$_POST['age'];
echo $age;
if($age==25)
{
echo "hi" .$name;
echo "your age is ". $age;
echo"you are eligible";
}
}
?>
How do I access $_POST['username'] in the code following the html form in the same script? Thank you in advance.
If I understand well you want to pass username twice. Than you can use hidden input, which is not visible (only transports data):
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $_POST['username']; ?>" />
On the second form you can use a hidden input, i.e.:
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="$name">
Example:
<?php
$name=$_POST['username'];
if (!empty($_POST['username']) && $_POST['submit'] == 'Save and Proceed'))
{
$name=$_POST['username'];
echo $name;
if($name=='azra')
{
echo <<< LOL
<html>
<form method="POST" action="2.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"></br>
enter age:</font> <input type="text" name="age">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="$name">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="done">
</form>
</html>
LOL;
}
}
if((isset($_POST['age'])) && ($_POST['submit'] == 'done'))
{
$age=$_POST['age'];
echo $age;
if($age==25)
{
echo "hi" .$name;
echo "your age is ". $age;
echo"you are eligible";
}
}
?>
