form question

hi,

Just a quick form question…

Is it possible to have form to go to a “confirmation page” so that they can check if all the info is correct, before submitting?

Thank you

Julie

If you are writing your own form handler, then absolutely, yes you
can. But I don’t think that Tim’s form handler can do that or be made
to do it.

Here’s a very simple and naive version of what I mean:

http://pastie.org/1067238

You would POST your form to this code on your server (call it
confirm.php or similar) and then edit the script so that it in turn
posted to your real form handler.

All this page does is gather all of the POST variables sent to it into
an array, then loop through that array building hidden “mirror” form
elements to match, and a nice unordered list containing the human-
readable version of those variables. If you press the Continue button,
you simply send the same form on to the real handler. If you press the
Ooops link, you go back in your history to the pre-filled form.
