Hi there,
Thanks so much everyone I really appreciate the help! I have it working
now using hidden tags from each page to the next.

Hi Aslan:
Keeping it all on one page (one script) is fine -- no problems with that.
Here's the technique I use.
$step = isset($__POST ['step']) ? $__POST ['step'] :1;
if($step == 1)
{
// do the first page stuff (Symptoms)
// with a POST form that has an input type=hidden name=step
value=1
}
if($step == 2)
{
// do the second page stuff ( Troubleshooting questions)
// with a POST form that has an input type=hidden name=step
value=2
}
if($step == 3)
{
// do the third page stuff (Answer to problem)
// with a POST form that has an input type=hidden name=step
value=3
}
If you want to pass variables between pages (trips from client to the
server nad back again), you have four options, namely: 1)
writing/reading a file; 2) writing/reading a database entry; 3)
passing via a POST/GET; 4) or using SESSIONS.
For most things, I prefer using POST/GET and/or SESSIONS. Try this format:
$var1 = isset($_POST['var1']) ? $_POST['var1'] : null;
$var2 = isset($_SESSION['var2']) ? $_SESSION['var2'] : null;
That's the way I pass data between client and server.
However, what you are describing sounds a bit like this:

With this example, I'm not passing anything to the server --
everything is kept client-side and is quick.
If interested, all the code is there.
Cheers,
tedd

Re: [PHP] Passing var from one page to itself
hello,
you can use session to store your variables between pages.

The page is passing the vars from the first page to the second, but
the first pages vars are not passed to the third (but the second page is)
I am using includes for each sectional page and passing it back to
itself
if($submitted == )
{
include 'inc/tshoot2-input.php';
}
if($submitted == symptoms)
{
include 'inc/tshoot2-symptoms.php'; }
if($submitted == submitted)
{
include 'inc/answers.php'; }
The tool will ultimately be on www.adslgeek.com/troubleshooter/

Re: [PHP] Passing var from one page to itself
also, you can store info in hidden form fields. on the 2nd page, populate
the hidden fields with the data from the first page. when that form is
submitted, the hidden field values will get submitted as well.
that's not ideal, tho. if you have validation in place between the first
and second pages, that could be obviated if someone who knew some stuff
changed the hidden field values before it gets sent to the 3rd page.
you could do the session vars as the previous person suggested, but if you
have a lot of data to store, you might want to consider putting it into a
database using the session_id as the identifier.
