Same Form Submitted Multiple Times (or Not)

[jrbjr5]

I have a form that I want to fill out and complete "x" times. x is passed from the previous page via a FORM variable. I have set the form up in a <CFLOOP>. Currently I am seeing "x" copies of the form on my page. I wanted to see the form once and then submit it and then see it again (x times) and submit it. In other words I want to submit the form "x" number of times.

The concept is to track attendance. How many visitors did you have (x) ? Then submit (name, address, etc.) to the visitor table "x" times.

Any thoughts ?

You could use a hidden form field to track the number of forms to display. Then decremement it when you submit.

USE THIS ON THE DISPLAY PAGE:
<cfoutput>
<cfparam name="FORM.numForms" default="1">
<form name=... action=... method="Post">
<input name="numForms" type="Hidden" value="#FORM.numForms#">
...
Other form fields
...
</form>
</cfoutput>


THEN USE THIS ON THE ACTION PAGE:
<cfparam name="FORM.numForms" default="1">
Do your DB insert here

<!--- Decremement the counter --->
<cfset FORM.numForms = FORM.numForms - 1>
<cfif FORM.numForms GT 1>
redirect back to the FORM page again
<cfelse>
redirect back to some main page
</cfif>
