Passing Variables

[hussein_787]

Hi Im trying to pass a variable from an input box to another page

 

the input is <input type="text" name="coupon1" />

 

i am trying to pass this value from checkout_shipping.php to checkout_payment.php

 

so on checkout_payment.php i can grab the value

 

I have tried code like below but I cant seem to get the value

 

$coupon1 = $_POST['coupon1'];

<input type="text" name="coupon" value="$coupon1" />

 

Any help would be great

Make it a session variable.

 

In checkout_shipping.php after you set the value for $coupon1, add this code:

 

<?php
 if ( ! tep_session_is_registered('coupon1') ) {
  tep_session_register('coupon1');
 }
?>

Then when you get to checkout_payment.php you just refer to it as $coupon1 and it will still have the value you set in checkout_shipping.php.
