   Hope I explain this properly.....I have to design a simple booking for a holiday lettngs site. No problem there, however to avoid having to have a seperate form foreach property is there a way of using one form but populating a field with the name of the property which would be taken from the referring URL for example, or is there another way? The customers receiving this booking form could be simply sent a link of some sort so long as when mu customer receives the booking form he knows which property is being booked. hope I have made this clear...if not then tell me and I will try again. Thanking you all in advance.

   Yes, basically you need to apply this modification:

   or this:

   In your case, simply pass the referring URL as the parameter to your form.

   If you are having difficulty, send us an email and let us know some example URL of your current page. We'll help you there.

   Brilliant...I used the first suggested soluton and its great..however...can I do this for more than one form ID. I tried to enter another line of code identical to one that worked and I got an error, unexpected $ send I think.. SO how do I do this for two seperate forms with different ID's?

   Cheers

   That seems to be some syntax error. Make sure to copy the whole code, including the curly braces.

   Like this:

   if($form_id == 5 && $row['element_id'] == 3){
   	$element[$j]->default_value = $_GET['email'];
   }
   
   if($form_id == 6 && $row['element_id'] == 3){
   	$element[$j]->default_value = $_GET['email2'];
   }
   
   if($form_id == 7 && $row['element_id'] == 3){
   	$element[$j]->default_value = $_GET['email3'];
   }

   This is the exact code I have put in:-

   $element[$j]->default_value = htmlspecialchars($row['element_default_value']);

   if($form_id == 4 && $row['element_id'] == 1){
   $element[$j]->default_value = $_GET['property'];
   }

   if($form_id == 11 && $row['element_id'] == 1){
   $element[$j]->default_value = $_GET['property'];
   }

   However only Form 11 works, form 4 will not take the data. The element ID is correct but o no avail. What am I doing wrong?

   Just to clarify, I didn't enter the

   $element[$j]->default_value = htmlspecialchars($row['element_default_value']);

   Just the two lines of code below it. Still dont understand..........

   The two pages are these:-

   www.gotokefalonia.com/machform/view.php?id=11&property=test ( a simple form to test this method worked for me)

   and

   www.gotokefalonia.com/machform/view.php?id=4&property=test (a form I started to design erlier which simply will NOT pick up the string 'test')

   OK....sorted. It seems the forms I designed earlier just wouldn't take the data but any new forms will! Anyway, all good and working now. Thank you for your help but this thread can now end. Cheers
