Passinf Form variables without ?id=

Question

Hi<br /><br />I have a mix of ADDT and non ADDT form ages.<br /><br />The pages are a multi part form where each part of the form submits to a new page with the previous page form details passes as variables like so<br /><br /><?php<br />    $gradeselection = htmlentities($_POST['gradeselection']);<br />     ?><br /><br />and passed as a hidden field<br /><br /><INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="cust_email"<br />VALUE="<?php echo $gradeselection; ?>"><br /><br />Then on the final page everything is submitted to the DB table.<br /><br />Part of the form requires a file upload which I am using the ADDT part of the form. However the $_POST does not pass the form file field to the next page unless I append a .php?id=. The trouble with that is it stops the other form $_POST variable being passed.<br /><br />So my question is how do I pass the ADDT form field variable?<br /><br />Cheers<br />Laurence

Hi Gunter
<br />
<br />Its been a while since I was in the forum. I hope you are well.
<br />I know I can do it pssing the dynamic data placeholder. I was attempting to get the same result using $_POST and a hidden field.
<br />
<br />This works well in non ADDT formsbut does not seem to with ADDT forms.
<br />
<br />To do this normally I use the following code in a include file
<br />
<br />***CODE****
<br /><?php<br />function field_forwarder() {<br />    global $_POST, $rEM979, $FFoutputType;<br />    $fieldForwarder = '';<br />    /* get the arguments passed */<br />    $argList = func_get_args ();<br /><br />    /* globalize any other set of instructions */<br />    if (count ($argList)) {<br />        eval ('global $' . $argList[count($argList)-1] . ';');<br />    }<br />    <br />    /* set the default set of values to convert */<br />    if(count($argList)==0) {<br />        /* if the function is initially passed without<br />           parameter we're looking in $_POST */<br />        $argList[0] = '_POST';<br />        $startValue = $_POST; <br />        if (sizeof ($startValue) == 0) {<br />            return false;<br />        }<br />    } elseif (count ($argList) == 1) {<br />        eval ('$rEM979["' . $argList[0] . '"] = $' <br />              . $argList[0] . ';');<br />        $argList[0] = 'rEM979';<br />        $startValue = $rEM979;<br />    } elseif (count ($argList) == 2) {<br />        eval ('$startValue = $' . $argList[1] . '["' <br />              . $argList[0] . '"];');<br />    } else {<br />        for($e = count($argList) - 2; $e >= 0; $e--) {<br />            $intersperse .= '["' . $argList[$e] . '"]';<br />        }<br />        eval ('$startValue = $' . $argList[count($argList)-1]  <br />              . $intersperse . ';');<br />    }<br /><br />    foreach($startValue as $n => $v) {<br />        if (is_array ($v)) {<br />            /* call the function again */<br />            $shiftArguments = '';<br />            for($w = 0; $w <= count ($argList) - 1; $w++) {<br />                $shiftArguments .= '"' . $argList[$w] . '", ';<br />            }<br />            $shiftArguments = substr ($shiftArguments, 0, <br />                                     strlen ($shiftArguments) - 2);<br />            <br />            eval ('$fieldForwarder .= field_forwarder("' . $n . '"' <br />                  . substr(',',0,strlen($shiftArguments)) . ' ' <br />                  . $shiftArguments . ');');<br />                        <br />        } else {<br />            /* we have an root value finally */<br />            if (count ($argList) == 1) {<br />                /* actual output */<br />                flush();<br />                if ($FFoutputType == 'print') {<br />                    $fieldForwarder .= "\$$n = '$v';\n";<br />                } else {<br />                    $fieldForwarder .= "<input type=\"hidden\" "<br />                                    . "name=\"$n\" value=\"" <br />                                    . htmlentities(stripslashes($v)) <br />                                    . "\">\n";<br />                }<br />            } elseif (count ($argList) >1 ) {<br />                $indexString = '';<br />                for($g = count ($argList) - 3; $g >= 0; $g--) {<br />                    $indexString .= '[' <br />                                 . ((!is_numeric ($argList[$g])<br />                                 and $FFoutputType == 'print')<br />                                 ? "'" : '')<br />                                 . $argList[$g]<br />                                 . ((!is_numeric ($argList[$g])<br />                                 and $FFoutputType == 'print')<br />                                 ? "'" : '')<br />                                 . ']';<br />                }<br />                $indexString .= '[' <br />                             . ((!is_numeric ($n) <br />                             and $FFoutputType == 'print') <br />                             ? "'" : '') . $n <br />                             . ((!is_numeric ($n) <br />                             and $FFoutputType == 'print') <br />                             ? "'" : '') . ']';<br />                /* actual output */<br />                flush();<br />                if ($FFoutputType == 'print') {<br />                    $fieldForwarder .= "\${$argList[count($argList)-2]}"<br />                                    . "$indexString = '$v';\n";<br />                } else {<br />                    $fieldForwarder .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\""<br />                                    . "{$argList[count($argList)-2]}"<br />                                    . "$indexString\" value=\"" <br />                                    . htmlentities(stripslashes($v)) <br />                                    . "\">\n";<br />                }<br />            }<br />        }       <br />    }<br />    return $fieldForwarder;<br />}<br />?>
<br />*****END CODE***
<br />
<br />In the head of the receiving page I would have something like
<br />
<br /><?php<br />    $gradeselection = htmlentities($_POST['gradeselection']);<br /> ?>
<br />
<br />and in the body
<br />
<br /><?php echo field_forwarder(); ?>
<br />
<br />This passes all the previous form fields as variables.
<br />
<br />Only does not work with ADDT form fields :-(
<br />
<br />Cheers
