    copied!<p>So, I have 3 different web-pages that to passes variable to the next web-page.</p> <pre><code>session_start(); $_SESSION['transdate'] = $date_name; </code></pre> <p><strong>Next page:</strong></p> <pre><code>echo $_SESSION['transdate']; </code></pre> <p>Yes, I know session can be used to achieve the similar functionality. But, after trying the code above it says "Undefined variable: _SESSION". Yet, I made sure it has a proper name.</p> <p>So now I'm trying through $_POST, it's not showing undefined variable. But, it's not showing any results.</p> <h2>First form:</h2> <pre><code>$datePicker .= "&lt;input class='datepicker' type='text' name='datepicker'&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>The variable in the second form which was fetched from the first one is completely working.</p> <h2>Second form:</h2> <p><strong>PHP:</strong></p> <pre><code>$date_name $_POST['datepicker']; $date = $_POST['datepicker']; $date = date('Y-m-d: H:i:s', strtotime($date)); </code></pre> <p><strong>HTML:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="inquiry.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;input name="schedule" type="hidden" value="&lt;?php echo $schedule; ?&gt;" /&gt; &lt;label&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; Number of Kids:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input name="kid" style="height:30px;" type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="Example: 1234567" pattern="[0-9]{1,11}" required /&gt; &lt;label&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; Number of Adults:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input name="adult" style="height:30px;" type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="Example: 1234567" pattern="[0-9]{1,11}" required /&gt; &lt;label&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; Number of Rooms:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input name="transdate" type="hidden" value="&lt;?php echo $date_name; ?&gt;" /&gt; &lt;select name="number_room"&gt; &lt;?php echo $availableRooms; ?&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;label&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;*&lt;/font&gt; Number of Cottages:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;select name="number_cottages"&gt; &lt;?php echo $availableCottages; ?&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;button type="submit" class="btn btn-success" style="text-align:center; margin-left: 0px; "&gt;Save Changes&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>While here the results are not showing.</p> <h2>Third Form</h2> <pre><code>$date = $_POST['transdate']; $date = date('Y-m-d: H:i:s', strtotime($date)); </code></pre> <p>EDIT: <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/ue1dR.jpg" rel="nofollow">Link to screenshot</a></p>
