My apologies for deficient terminology. I define a "regular post" as the
original <form action=somewebpage.php method=post> with globals on and the
somewebpage.php using the variable sent without using $_POST. But I bet you
already knew that :) You asked for the code...
My first page has ...
...
echo "<form name=Search action=\"".$site."dest.html\" method=post>";
echo "<input type=text size=11 maxlength=11 name=search>";
?>
<br>
<INPUT type=text size=3 name=SSN1 maxlength=3
onKeyUp=if(this.value.length==3)th
is.form.SSN2.focus();> - <INPUT type=text size=2 name=SSN2 maxlength=2
onKeyUp=i
f(this.value.length==2)this.form.SSN3.focus();> - <INPUT type=text size=4
name=S
SN3 maxlength=4>
</td>
...
my second page has...
...
if(isset($SSN1) )
{
header( "Location:
".$site."newplace.html?SSN1=".$SSN1."&SSN2=".$S
SN2."&SSN3=".$SSN3."");
}
...
End result being that if they used the text input they would continue with
the second page, skipping the new header. I could put a value in the text
and leave SSN alone and get sent to the new header. If I put a value in
SSN1 I would go to the new header. If I put the echo "hello"; before the
header line and leave use the search text box leaving SSN1 blank I would not
get the new header. If I used the SSN1 I would get hello and then an error
message that the header had already been sent which is what I expected.
However, upon removing the hello line again, it went right back to sending
the new header whether SSN1 was used or not. Changing the if to reflect
if($SSN1 > 0) it works as intended except that some SSN's have leading 0's
for their first 3 digits so I am about to use empty(). The > 0 was a quick
fix since they needed to use it immediately.
PS you'll have to contend with "..." as these scripts 242 and 409 lines
long respectively. I can assure you that the form is properly closed on the
sending page though.

What's a "regular post" anyway?
Well, the key is passed even when there's even though the field might be
empty.

Maybe you can post the code--I'm sure somebody here can fix it...

At least not in my experience--it always served its purpose ;)
