Question

At the start of my session’d php form I give the user an option to select their Marital Status.

Depending on the result of the selection I wish to output different fields as the form is same just a few minor field changes.

How would I retrieve the option the user has selected in the previous page and then run an IF statement on it in the next page?

<input type="radio" name="selection" id="selection" group="form_type" value="1st_Marriage"/>1st Marriage
<input type="radio" name="selection" id="selection" group="form_type" value="2nd_Marriage"/>2nd Marriage

What I want to do is, retrieve the users selection and display different form fields on the next and subsequent pages further along the form’s process.

Answer 1

if($_SESSION['marital_status'] == 'Married'){
    //do something
}else if($_SESSION['marital_status'] == 'Single'){
   //do something else
}

should do what you are looking for.
