jQuery Method
If the forms are on the same page, you can use jQuery to get the values and write to the div:
var content = $('#category').val()+'<br>'+$('#subcategory').val()+'<br>'+$('#comments').val();
$('#div-to-write-to').html(content);
PHP Method
If the forms are on different pages, you will need to use PHP and the $_POST[] variable to pass the values you are looking for.
NOTE: for this method to work the page being POSTed to MUST be PHP. You will also need to add an action and method in the first form to POST to the second form.
This would be the code in the form on the page being POSTed to:
<?phpecho$_POST['category'].'<br>'.$_POST['subcategory'].'<br>'.$_POST['comments']; ?>
A value can be passed between forms using the POST and GET methods. The first form (Which is sending the values) does not have this defined, so modify the first form to this -
<formname="summaryform"method='POST'action='process.php'>
Then, in process.php, put the following php code -
$dropdown_first = $_POST['category'];
$dropdown_second= $_POST['subcategory'];
$comment = $_POST['comments'];
After that, you can just use the variables as you see fit!
- If you want just print the selected values from first form @zsaa14's
answer is good
- If you want to print whole select list, autoselected your value, heres a code.
foreach($categories as $category) {
$selected = $category['name'] === $_POST['category'] ? 'selected="selected"' : '';
echo " <option value="{$category['name']}" {$selected}>{$category['name']}</option>" ;
}
NOTE: the variable names and keys are for example, use Yours. This is only fragment of code.
