Sending Data from one page to another without using form php

Question

How to send data from one page to another without using form? I am getting id and type by GET method

 <a href="form.php?id=<?php echo $_GET['id']."&".$_GET['type']; ?>" class="orderbtn">Order Now</a>

When I go to form.php, I fill the form and click on the submit button my form page code is below

form.php

<div id="form"> <p class="rf">*Required Fields </p> <form action="formsubmitted.php" onsubmit="return formValidate()" method="post" name="myform"> <span class="required" title="Required Field">*</span> <span style="font-size:16px; color:#000; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Name: </span> <input id="name" title="Enter Your Full Name" type="text" name="name" autofocus="autofocus" required="required" value=""/><br/> <span class="required" title="Required Field">*</span> <span style="font-size:16px;color:#000; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;padding-right:10px;">Email:</span> <input id="email" type="email" name="email" required="required" placeholder="[email protected]"/><br/> <span class="required" title="Required Field">*</span> <span style="font-size:16px;color:#000; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Address:</span> <input id="address" title="Enter Address" type="text" name="address" required="required" value=""/><br/> <span class="required" title="Required Field">*</span> <span style="font-size:16px;color:#000; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Contact Number:</span> <input id="contactno" title="Enter Number" type="text" name="contact" required="required" value=""/><br/> <input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"/></span> </form> </div>

When I submitted it goes to formsubmitted.php page where I am inserting data into database using post method i.e.

formsubmitted.php

 <?php $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); $select_db = mysql_select_db("fashion",$connection); if(!$connection) { die ("Could not Connect".mysql_error()); } $query = "INSERT INTO `order` (flname,email,address,contact) VALUES ('{$_POST['name']}','{$_POST['email']}','{$_POST['address']}','{$_POST['contact']}');"; echo $query . "<br />"; $res = mysql_query($query,$connection); if(!$res) {die("Could Not Enter Data".mysql_error());} else { echo "Enter Data Successfully."; } ?>

I want to insert the id and type which I am getting in the url in form page how can i do that?

I see inline-styling and usage of mysql_query both of which are bad practices in web design. I think you should be concerned about those for now. — samayo

Your code provides an excellent example of how to construct dangerous SQL queries. stackoverflow.com/questions/60174/… — Dave

You need to add &type=

 <a href="form.php?id=<?php echo $_GET['id']."&type=".$_GET['type']; ?>" class="orderbtn">Order Now</a>

...................................................................................................^

You need use to $_GET in form.php

 <?php $id = $_GET['id']; $type = $_GET['type']; ?> <form action="formsubmitted.php" onsubmit="return formValidate()" method="post" name="myform"> ...... <input name="id" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $id;?>"> <input name="type" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $type;?>"> </form>

in formsubmitted.php:

 <?php echo $_POST['id']; echo $_POST['type']; ?>

i do that but it is inserting the id value in type coloumn in database and id is 0 when a new record is added..
in formsubmitted.php, use print_r($_POST); to verify the posted value
it is printing now like this Array ( [name] => Imran Mushtaq [email] => [email protected] [address] => 3280y28y [contact] => 73427343 [id] => 7 [type] => winter [submit] => Submit ) but the same problem id colomn=0 and Type colomn has the value of id...
[id] => 7 [type] => winter, it carried and posted the proper values.
how you say id=0 ? can you show your formsubmitted.php file source'

You can send this params in a hidden field As this:

<input type="hidden" name="type" id="type" value="<?php echo $_GET['type'];?>"/>

And you need to add protection against XSS
