Passing results of script in one form to another.

Website Reaction · 11-01-2009, 09:45 AM

Hi All,

I am trying to find out how to pass the results of a script in one form to an input box(s) in second form. I don't even know if this can be done? I have attached the code below - The first form (zip_lookup)gets postcode data and calculates the distance between them and writes the result with a little bit of math. The second form posts data to formmail.cgi. What I want to do is when the user enters the postcodes and clicks 'calculate costs' for the document to write as normal and enter the data into the three input boxes of the second form (contact).

Hope someone can help.

Regards,
Colin Smith.
