I see how I can do this by going from one machform to another machform. I just don't understand how I would do this with two separate forms on separate databases.</p> <p>Sorry Yuniar. I wish I was more skilled at this...</p> <p>Maybe I can buy a support package from you or something. That might help pay for all this time you're lending to these forums... I'd be happy to pay. :-) </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/passing-variables-from-one-form-to-a-machform#post-321 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 05:53:37 +0000 yuniar 321@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>The challenge sounds great! :-)</p> <p>Yes, it is possible to do this. You just need to do some small modification.<br /> As a matter of fact, few users already asked about this kind of thing.</p> <p>You might want to check this post:<br /> <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/dynamic-content-php?replies=5" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/dynamic-content-php?replies=5</a></p> <p>So what you'll need to do is to dynamically generate the src attribute of the IFRAME, to include/pass your unique_id from the other form.</p> <p>Let me know if you need further help with this. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/passing-variables-from-one-form-to-a-machform#post-319 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 05:11:36 +0000 mpivon 319@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello again!</p> <p>Things are working out GREAT so far.</p> <p>Now I have a challenge: I have one form on a web page with simple data collected. It is NOT a Machform page.</p> <p>Now, based on their response, I would like to have that form redirect to a new machform. Problem is, I DON'T want them to have to re-enter their personal information. </p> <p>Any idea how to do this? The non-machform page WILL have ONE unique data piece - lets call it {unique_ID}, which is also encoded in the URL, i.e.: Somedomain.com/{unique_ID}/, but then we would redirect to a new page with machform embedded in an IFRAME...</p> <p>Can I get the {unique_ID} info from the other form and populate it into a machform... is this beyond the scope of this forum / application?</p> <p>If this CAN'T be done, then can I at least embed a machform into the page using the IFRAME, and somehow pass the information from Somedomain.com/{unique_ID} to a hidden field within the Machform?</p> <p>To put it another way, I would have two forms on the same page: one would be a form that posts information from one database, and then the other form would be the machform. So when the customer presses the "submit" button, then I have a way of matching up both sets of data: the old stuff stored in a legacy system, and the updated stuff collected via machform...</p> <p>:-` </p>
