Re: [PEAR] TrackSubmit question

That makes sense now. I've re-written the form as one page with two forms,
as shown below, and it works like a champ. Thank you!

form.php -----
<?php

// Load the QuickForm code
require "HTML/QuickForm.php";

$form1 = new HTML_QuickForm("form1", null, null, null, null, true);
$form2 = new HTML_QuickForm("form2", null, null, null, null, true);

$form1->addElement("text","entered_text","Enter some text");
$form1->addRule("entered_text","You must enter text","required");
$form1->addElement("submit","submit","Submit");

$valid = $form1->validate();
If ($valid) {
$form2->addElement("static",null,"You Entered :". $_POST["entered_text"]);
$form2->addElement("submit",null,"Reset");

$valid = $form2->validate();
If ($valid) {
}
$form2->display();
} else {
$form1->display();
}

?>
