(Multiform) Cannot move from first form to the next - sing0d - Nov 14th, 2010
Hi there,
First a great job on the tool. Really takes my mind off messy php-mysql programming.
Secondly,
I have facing a problem of moving on to the next page after the submission of the first form (http://nmmun.in/nreg/reg.php). The first form's code snippet is,
Code:
<?php
require_once("formtools/global/api/api.php");
$fields = ft_api_init_form_page(2, "initialize");
$params = array(
"submit_button" => "saveForm",
"next_page" => "countrysel.php",
"form_data" => $_POST,
"no_sessions_url" => "reg.php"
);
ft_api_process_form($params);
?>Complete codes are attached alongwith if you want a look.

Hi singOd,
That's curious... what happens, exactly?
The obvious stuff is good:
- your submit button has a name attribute of saveForm
- the <form> start and end tag are valid
- there's no whitespace before the PHP at the top
Is there any JS interfering with the form submit? If you're not sure, try temporarily disabling JS in your browser and re-submitting the form.

Have the same problem... any Ideas?

EDIT: BTW, the "no_sessions_url" function also don't work (i can open every page, but if i click on submit i get a blank page back)
the first 2 fprms are:
01.php
Code:
<?php
require_once("formtools2/global/api/api.php");
$fields = ft_api_init_form_page("", "test");
$params = array(
"submit_button" => "weiter",
"next_page" => "02.php",
"form_data" => $_POST
);
ft_api_process_form($params);
?>

sorry for my insistence, but i realize now that i'm landing allways on the same page; the "header("location: $next_page");" on the api.php seems not to work... i.e., if i try to open the "01.php", i landing on the "01.php" (but the page is blank this time). Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! (and sorry for my poor english...)

i have found the solution: my php-file was encoded with UTF8. I've converted it to ANSI and it works now. (i can't understand it, but it works...)

I experienced the same problem for 1 of four forms steps. All files where encoded in utf8 and it turned out that I by some reason got mixed charcter encoding in the file even if everything looked just fine. I have to use double byte characters as I need Swedish characters.
The solution where to create a new file in UTF8, copy in all text with single byte characters and write in any double byte characters. And it worked direct.
Even when I had this problem all form submissions where handled correctly in the background but blank page where due to a http response 200 where sent instead of the redirect http 302. So there was some characters in the file that where returned by the page before formtools had a chance to send it's redirect http header.
Tricky problem, so thanks jpsaenz for leading me in right direction
