Insert data from form field to php page

[blu_sky]

I am a brand new to php \ mysql (one+ week :)). I created a php form in
drmwvr, with the contents being deposited into a mysql db. That part works
fine. When the person submits the form, I have a confirm_enroll.php page that
appears. I would like to have the "FirstName" field from the form appear in the
text of the confirm_enroll.php page. I have tried any number of ways, but I
can only seem to get the first record from the database (not from the form,
which is the one that I want).

Also, how would I go about having the form results emailed to me, in addition
to being deposited into the database? Thanks for the help!

Hi,
There are no default ways to insert the information in the database and
send the e-mail in the same time. While you might be able to do this
programming, I will suggest you a simpler path - getting an extension
that will do your work.

Not only you'll get the possibility to insert in the database, send
e-mails and validate forms, but you'll also be able to do a lot of other
stuff.

And we'll also help you on our forums on your specific problem, we are
offering a second to none support for our clients

Yeah, I can help you too - buy MY product.... chump.

blu-sky, hope you made progress over the weekend, I'm not too far in front of
you. If you didn't, pass the key of the record you inserted in your enroll
page as a parameter (easy from the 'insert record' property window) to your
confirm page, then simply use that parameter to retrieve another record set in
confirm_enroll.php - you can place any independent data element on your page by
dragging it from the bindings recordset.

...can't help you with the email yet.
