Extracting just submitted details in a redirect

[mostwanted]

I have a student registration form that immediately after registering a student I want to use those details in another form, a payments form to enter that student's payment status but my code keeps returning  none like student is not available, I am doing something wrong here please assist me figure it out or show me a better way of doing achieving the same logic:

CODE:

def registration():

    form=SQLFORM(db.store_registration)
    if form.process().accepted:
        response.flash=T('Details Registered')
        student_name = "{form.vars.first_name} {form.vars.last_name}"
        # Redirect to payments view with student's name as parameter
        redirect(URL('default', 'payments', vars={'student_name': student_name}))
    return locals()

def payments():
    student_name = request.vars.student_name

    # Loading student's information from the database
    student = db(db.store_registration.first_name + ' ' + db.store_registration.last_name == student_name).select().first()
   
    if student is None:
        raise HTTP(404, "Student not found")

    form.vars.student = student.id  # Set the student reference in the payment form
    form = SQLFORM(db.payments)
    if form.process().accepted:
        response.flash = T('Payment details submitted')
    return locals()

Hi,

could it be that the problem is, you're passing the students name (vars={'student_name': student_name}) but then reference to form.vars.student as student.id?

I managed to get it going, thanks for highlighting that mistake 

form=SQLFORM(db.store_registration)
    if form.process().accepted:
        response.flash=T('Details Registered')

        student_id = form.vars.id_number

        # Redirect to payments view with student's name as parameter

        redirect(URL('default', 'payments', vars={'student_id': student_id}))
    return locals()

def payments():
    student_id = request.vars.student_id
    # Load student's information from the database
    student = db(db.store_registration.id_number == student_id).select().first()

   
    if student is None:
        raise HTTP(404, "Student not found")

    db.payments.student.default=student.id
    form = SQLFORM(db.payments)
    #form.vars.student = student.id  # Set the student reference in the payment form

    if form.process().accepted:
        response.flash = T('Payment details submitted')

        redirect(URL('default', 'student_registration'))

    return locals()
