I am a developer wanting to make the transition from asp to php3 and would like some info from anyone who can help since the documentation is a little vague in some areas. What I need is the equivalent of: my_var = request.form("posted_var") Which would turn the variable "my_var" into whatever the posted variable "posted_var" was. This is done using the POST method and not GET. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

Form entries are automatically placed into variables in the target php3 script. IOW, if you have the form element: <form action=/old?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.devshed.com%2FTalk%2FForums%2FForum5%2FHTML%2Fsome.php3&y=1999 method=post> Than some.php3 would have the value entered in that element in the variable $name. If you want the form elements in an array they will also be in the array $HTTP_POST_VARS (in this case $HTTP_POST_VARS[name]). Which, incidently, I convert to $hpv if I plan on using it, since $HTTP_POST_VARS can be a bit much to type BTW, if you are interested, there is a program that converts ASP scripts to PHP called, you guessed it, asp2php. I don't have any links but you can do a search at www.phpbuilder.com for it and you should find it. [This message has been edited by rod k (edited March 13, 2000).] |

$my_var = $posted_var; is this all you wanted? Basil |
