submit button

Expand Post »

hello,
i have a serious problem

i have 4 pages
1st page: user enters his first, middle and last name. + a submit button to the 2nd page
2nd page: he enters his Gender, Age and Marital status. + a submit button to the 3rd page
3rd page: Address, City and Country + a submit button to the 4th page
4th page: he is asked some questions, + a submit button to insert data into Database
The problem is that the data is entered to db, after loading page 4, and not when clicking the submit button. So the data entered in page 4 are not entered to db

so what could i do to resolve this problem

plz help
This is the code of page4.php:

      $Gender = $_SESSION['gender'];
      $Age = $_SESSION['age'];     
      $Mstatus = $_SESSION['mstatus'];
      $Address = $_SESSION['address'];
      $City = $_SESSION['city'];
      $Country = $_SESSION['country'];
?>
 
<html>
<head><title> Registration page four </title></head>
<body>
 
<?php
   // insert data to db
?>
 
 <form name="page4form" method="post" action="registered.php">

Re: submit button

How about carrying the data over to a 5th page and if the data goes into the database give a nice happy message, if the data fails here, you can warn the user and send them back to the beginning.

Re: submit button

Your php insert is happening as page 4 loads. Move the insert up to the top with the rest of the php. Also, surround the insert with a conditional to check if the smoke button has been selected
and the submit button has been pushed i.e.:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['smoke'])){
//insert into the db
}
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['smoke'])){
//insert into the db
}

Re: submit button

Not exactly sure what you are asking. You want to hide the delete button? If so, use css:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<input name="delete" id="delete" type="submit" value="Delete User" onClick="return checkDelete();" <?php if(some condition){echo "style='display:none'"; }?> />
<input name="delete" id="delete" type="submit" value="Delete User" onClick="return checkDelete();" <?php if(some condition){echo "style='display:none'"; }?> />
