I'm a bit of a newbie with this, so perhaps I've made a stupid mistake, but when I use the Phakt insert record behaviour i don't seem to be able to retreive any of the form variables on the redirected page (using $HTTP_POST_VARS associative array)

Do these get lost during the phakt insert record processing?

Thanks for your help,

Andrew

just change the forms's method to GET instead of POST:

<form name="form1" method="get" action="<?php echo $MM_editAction?>">

then make sure that you request the variables in the second page and display the results like so:

<?php echo $HTTP_GET_VARS["you text here"]?>

-- J

P.S. i killed kenny

Thanks alot for your help (and the really quick response)

Hi.
Same problem. I tried changing to GET, but then it reloads itself, with the form fields in the address bar, and doesn't go to the second page.

Any ideas?

First of all, GET is to be used mostly when you do a search. It can be used for insert but this would mean that, your address bar will have all the fields and value appearing in it. Just imagine having 15 fields for an insert form, and you using get to insert it. So use POST when you do an insert.

Is you page suppose to redirect anywhere after insert? if yes then check the link and you code. And also check your insert script.

If you are not working on a search page I will advice you to use post.
if the problem persist lets know.
You can always work around it with simple codes
