Using form values/Input to fill other forms

    Hello.

    Please help..I am stuck here.

    I want to be able to take the inputs (say Name and address) from one form and use it to populate the next form.

    The essence is:
    The first form is the lead generation for our website. As soon as the user puts in their name and address and other information, they submit. The next form will be for other details such as employment etc. The two forms go to different departments but I do not want the users to fill in their names and address for the 2nd time. Is there a way for me to populate the subsequent forms with some fields from the previous form?

    I really appreciate your previous support.

    I would like to do the same thing. Machform is now simple to populate using url parameters so it would be great to be able to move from one form to the next by including url parameters in the redirect url.

    I understand it is possible by creating session variables but forum postings explaining this seem to relate to earlier versions and the relevant coding to be edited in post-functions.php seems to have changed.

    I'm a bit ignorant on php so can anyone help advise on the code amendment needed in version 3.4 to allow for 2 or 3 items of data to be passed? I wouldn't be using the review feature.

    I guess this is a common requirement so any help posted here would be much appreciated.

    Here is what I do. The first attachment (payment.txt) is the output of 'view source' when displaying the generated form. The second attachment (rep-payment.php) is the same form after I have edited it. The third attachment is the contents of the include file in line 15 ($UNIQ.php).

    Some notes.
    The stopRKey function prevents the form from being submitted if the user presses <enter> to move from one field to another.
    I have replaced the date function with one from mattkruse.com
