Hi guys :)
Need some help :D

Does anybody know of a good tutorial or code to send values between .php forms please?

I would like to have a radio button checked on one form and then send it to the second form which is the contact form, with the rest of the details to fill in.

Any help would be great tx :)

You can use a url variable or a session variable. Are you using cc's form builder?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Hi Eric :)
No mate I use some other php services.

What I want to do is:
I may have been very bad at explain it, will try again.

I have a page with templates for selection, each has a radio button or it can be just a button, asking the person to make a selection, as long as it selects the value for that template.

I need it to then send that Templates value (template one say) to the other page which has all the contact information on it, that they can then fill in.

Name
Email
What you want field etc.

And I did find this:
template.php

<html>
<body>

<form action="site2.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
Email: <input type="text" name="email">
<input type="submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>

contact.php

<html>
<body>

Hello <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>!<br>
Your mail is <?php echo $_POST["mail"]; ?>.

</body>
</html>
