Multi-Thread Form Setup

tr3x86 · (This post was last modified: Jun 24th, 2009, 11:28 AM by tr3x86.)

I'm having trouble with a 3 page multi-form. Doesn't seem to carry information on to Form Tools to get past Step 3.

I've been messing with it for hours and I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Is there something wrong with the code?

$params = array(

  "form_data" => $_POST

    );

ft_api_process_form($params);

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Please ignore me... just figured it out.

Funny how that happens.

Hi Tyler,

Glad you figured it out!

Just one thing - make sure you include your PHP above the opening HTML. I'm actually surprised this is working for you! ft_api_process_form() uses a "header redirect" to go to the next page. Normally that only works if the HTML hasn't been outputted to the browser yet. Surprising!
