Help with posting form fields

[mickey]

I have a form like the one below. Upon submit I would like to self post
to the same page but have the original $_POST data( which was posted to
this page from another ) also be sent along with the new form field
data. How can I achieve that? Thanks.


<form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".$_SERVE R['QUERY_STRING']; ?>">
<table>
<tr>
<th><input type="text" name="fields[]"</th>
....
<th><input type="text" name="fields[]"</th>
<th><input type="submit" value="Add" name="add"</th>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

You could use hidden fields to pass the data

<?php
foreach($_POST as $k => $v)
echo '<input type="hidden" name="' . $k . '" value="' .
stripslashes($v ) . '">';
?>

You could save the values in a cookie, and retrieve them on the next page
load (see the setcookie function).

Alternatively, you could add them to the next form as hidden fields, so they
are passed along with the current values on the next form post.

I tried the hidden approach and it worked, thank you.
