It sounds to me like you are blowing away name in the URL when you submit a
new form.
../index.php?name=My Name
Is just like clicking the submit button on a form with:
action = ../index.php method = get
When you users use a new form the arguments to ../index.php are taken from
the form not the URL - I don't think you can say
action = ../index.ph?name=My Name method = get
And certainly not:
action = ../index.ph?name=My Name method = post
But the solution is easy - just put a hidden field "name" with the value set
to "My Name" inside of each form.
Good Luck,
Frank
