I am having some truble with getting the text that is entered into my PHP contact fourm sent to a dynamic text box else where in my site. I am trying to combine two of the totourals here on Kirupa. A PHP fourm called “[SIZE=2]**[SIZE=2] [/SIZE] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=4][COLOR=#003366] Flash[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]**[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=4][COLOR=#003366]-Based[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=4][COLOR=#003366] Email Form Using PHP” [SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]and one called [/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE]\*\*[SIZE=4][COLOR=#003366]“Displaying [/COLOR][/SIZE] \*\* [SIZE=4][COLOR=#003366]Data in a Text Field” [COLOR=Black][SIZE=2]. What I am trying to get to in the end is the input text box in the form with a var of “name” to be put in the “thank you message sent” frame.

ie: you enter your name, “tom”, in the contact form and the message sent page says, “thanks for sending tom”.

Maybe there is an eaiser way that I don’t know about, any help is welcomed.
