Re: On-Rev Webpage variable posting
Hi Devin, Thanks for the example! It turned out I was just parsing the hidden input a little incorrectly. Your excellent example straightened me out. Thanks!

Rick,
Here's a simple example I put together for my class:
http://chum.dev.on-rev.com/teacher/makeReport.irev
This file uses a GET method to send data to a second file, configReport.irev.
The second file in turn POSTs to a third file, displayReport.irev. File 2 has
to pass along a value from File 1 to file 3, and uses a hidden input to do the
job. The only reason I used GET in one form and POST in the other was to show
my class an example of using each one. You can use all GETs or all POSTs if you
want.
Here's the relevant section from makeReport.irev:
Select the Report Area:
People
Departments
Here is the relevant stuff from configReport.irev. The "choice" input is
hidden, and passes the value along from the form in makeReport.irev.
Configure your " & tWhich & " report:" & return
put "" & return
put "" &
return
put "Include the following information:" & return
if tWhich is "people" then
put "Department " & return
put "Phone Number " & return
put "Office " & return
else if tWhich is "department" then
put "Supervisor " & return
put "Dept. Phone Number " & return
put "Office " & return
end if
put "" & return
put ""
put ""
put ""
?>
Finally, here is the relevant excerpt from displayReport.irev, with database
login info sanitized:
First nameLast name" into tHeader
if tIncludeDept <> empty then
put comma & "dept" after tQuery
put "Department" after tHeader
end if
if tIncludePhone <> empty then
put comma & "phone" after tQuery
put "Phone" after tHeader
end if
if tIncludeOffice <> empty then
put comma & "office" after tQuery
put "Office" after tHeader
end if
else if tWhich is "department" then
put $_POST["supervisor"] into tIncludeSuper
put $_POST["phone"] into tIncludePhone
put $_POST["office"] into tIncludeOffice
put "SELECT name" into tQuery
put "Dept name" into tHeader
if tIncludeSuper <> empty then
put comma & "supervisor" after tQuery
put "Supervisor" after tHeader
end if
if tIncludePhone <> empty then
put comma & "phone" after tQuery
put "Phone" after tHeader
end if
if tIncludeOffice <> empty then
put comma & "office" after tQuery
put "Office" after tHeader
end if
end if
put " FROM " & tWhich after tQuery
# create database connection
put tQuery & "" --debugging
put revOpenDatabase("mysql","my.server.com","acmeco",\
"username","password") into tConnID
put revDataFromQuery(,,tConnID,tQuery) into tReport
revCloseDatabase tConnID
put "" & return
put "" & tHeader & "" & return
set the itemDelimiter to tab
repeat for each line tLine in tReport
replace tab with "" in tLine
put "" & tLine & "" & return after tFormattedRept
end repeat
put tFormattedRept
put ""
?>
Hope you find this helpful.

Re: On-Rev Webpage variable posting
Hi Devin, Yes, I don't want to use cookies. I tried the hidden inputs technique without success. I'm not sure why it didn't work. Do you have an example of hidden inputs so I could see what I might be doing wrong?

What’s the best way to do this? Rick, If you don't want to deal with cookies (I know I don't), what I always do is just pass those values along as hidden inputs in a form. Works great.

On-Rev Webpage variable posting
I have a webpage on On-Rev with input fields which are posted to another webpage just fine. I now want to pass that posted information onto yet another webpage before committing any of the data to a database using .irev files. What’s the best way to do this?
