Designer needs help

[keen01]

I have a web page I was asked to update that uses cf. First thing wanted is a reservation system for campgrounds that don't have their own reservation system, as long as they have email. Making a reservation page is easy, but how do I bring information such as email, address and so on into the reservation page? For now I'm just sending people to email. One page is

http://www.rvingusa.com/detail.cfm?idnum=306

I set up a fake reservaion system, but it's the page I want to go to bringing in the data from the page just visited,

http://www.rvingusa.com/campground_reservation.htm

I tried to do it in cf

http://www.rvingusa.com/campground_reservation.cfm

Any help is appreciated, I've gone out and bought the Macromedia CFMX7 web app book, seems cf will be great for future knowledge.

Your question is not very clear, are you trying to pass data from one form to anohter or are you trying to retreive data from a database.

If you are trying to pass from one form to another you can pass it in hidden form types to your forms, or you can pass it via the url and pull the data into your form from the url.

If you are trying to retreive from a database.

<cfquery name="myFoo" datasource="#dsn#>
select columnName, columnName
from tableName
where something = something
</cfquery>

Then you just output in your form fields
<cfoutput>
<input type="text" value="#form.columnName#" ...... >
</cfoutput>

How do I pull the data from the previous url?

You can use a self.location and have it point to your site. And in the url do something like this.

http://xyz.com/myform.cfm?name=#form.name#&ampaddress=#form.address&ampcity=#form.city#

Then when you are in your form, you just use the scope #url.varyouwanttooutput#

Hope this Helps.
