PHP - How pass user input date from one form (page) to another filling in the same info for the user to verify

Question

I'm trying to create an order form that will pass data from it to the same form but on a different page so the user can verify their information first then they will submit the data again for emailing and be redirected to a thank you page.

The problem is I haven't been able to get the info to pass into the form (same form different page). I also have to set up a conditional when the email(s) is sent because it needs to be sent to different people depending on which parts of the form are filled out.

Any help is greatly appreciated! I have a pretty good grasp of PHP, but it's been a long time since I've used it and this has been frustrating after spending a few days online searching for an answer. I'm sure this is something easy and I'll say, "Of course".

Thank you!

Answer 1

Your form is already posting to the second form so you don't need session variables. You can retrieve the values using $_POST['input_name'] on the verify page, if you need to verify what fields are being posted to the page you can use print_r($_POST)

Answer 2

session_start();

and then

$_SESSION['key1'] = $val1;
$_SESSION['key2'] = $val2;

Do that for all the data. And then access the stuff using $_SESSION['key']
