hey guys,

I met a problem when i want to use the form data in the next form. i search the net and found somebody use $form_state['storage'] to store the values,

but it doesn't get the values as expected.

Need your advice!

Thanks

Write a form_submit function (see http://api.drupal.org/api/function/example_form_submit/6 for details).

The form_submit will have your user's values stored in the &$form_state parameter. Retrieve the individuals values and build up an http query string (e.g. op=doit&firstName=joe&lastName=smoe).

Use the query string and do an http redirect with drupal_goto
(see http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_goto/6 for details)

mymodule_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
 $firstName = $form_state['values']['firstName'];
.....
 $query_string .="&firstName=".$firstName;
......
drupal_goto("URL OF NEXT FORM", $query_string);

Thanks for your reply.

But one thing i want to say is that the data passed to next form is too large and maybe it's not proper to pass it by url.

I just want another way to store such data except session.

I'm trying the same thing here, with the only difference that i want to prepare a form (in my case the register form), but i want some values for the fields in the register form te be filled in by my code.

I've read something about the $form['#post'] value to be filled in by an associative array where the keys match the form fieldnames, but all my form fields remain empty.

Does anyone know how to use this $form['#post'] array effectively ?

thanks
