How do I submit a Web page with PHP? - php

Question

I've created a three step order form and I need help with the third step.
1. form is filled out by the business and clicks on "preview order"
2. business views their order and clicks "confirm" (should be on "bizform.php" but I haven't tried it because I have no clue on how to do it.)
3. by clicking "confirm" the "Web page" or data from "bizform.php" is sent to the business and myself.
Questions: Is it possible? If so, can you point me in the right direction? TYVM
My form:
<div class="span4 diff">
<h3>Business Information</h3>
<br/>
<form action="bizform.php" method="post">

Answer 1

To store the the data across multiple forms:
<?php
session_start(); // Initiates the session, and loads the _SESSION variable
var_dump($_SESSION); // Show the data in the _SESSION variable
// Load data into the sessions
$_SESSION['a'] = 1;
$_SESSION['b'] = 'hello world';
if (!isset($_SESSION['c'])) $_SESSION['c'] = 0;
else $_SESSION['c'] += 2;
At first, you should see an empty array. Then, refresh and you will see your session data.

Answer 2

Since you can easily access the data via $_POST array, to send all this information to the respective recipients use the mail() function of php to create an email and send it over to whoever you want.

Answer 3

When you submit the form to bizform.php, store you post variables in hidden input fields, and submit those to your form processor on step 3.
EDIT:
In other words, have your Confirm process post your hidden fields to another processor that creates your email content from the POST, and send TO the business, and yourself as a CC or BCC header.
<input name="AID" type="hidden" id="AID" value="<?php echo $_POST['AID']; ?>" size="32" />
