RE: [PHP] Can I use variable appended to the end of a link if I'm not using it for SQL query?
sure - do exactly as you described. just because a variable is appended to a url, doesn't mean it HAS to be used in an SQL statement. It can be used for anything you like - even ignored... :) -Original Message- From: lmlweb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 2:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Can I use variable appended to the end of a link if I'm not using it for SQL query?

Hi, I went ahead and tried it - it works beautifully, where the title does show up perfectly when you arrive at the form. I filled out the form both to test the actual email body and the resulting html page once you've filled out the form and submitted. The $title variable does not show up in either the email body nor in the resulting page (the thank you for filling out this form page). While I can make the resulting page very generic by not adding the $title anywhere there, but the email body must contain the $title variable. I'm thinking maybe I should be adding the hidden form field for the $title? Here's the mail code: mail($recipientname $final_recipient,$form[subject],$form[first_name] $form[last_name] ($form[email]) send the following message to $recipientname ($final_recipient) : \n\n $form[message]\n\n Name: $form[first_name] $form[last_name] \n Event: $event \n Address: $form[address] \n City/Province: $form[city], $form[province] \n Phone: $form[areacode] $form[part1]-$form[part2] \n Email: $form[email] \n Subject: $form[subject] \n, From: $form[first_name] $form[last_name] $form[email]\nReply-To: $form[first_name] $form[last_name] $form[email]\nContent-type: text/plain\nX-Mailer: PHP/ . phpversion()); Martin Towell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... sure - do exactly as you described. just because a variable is appended to a url, doesn't mean it HAS to be used in an SQL statement.

yep - definately need that hidden field, just a simple line will do (normally) input type=hidden name=title value=?= $title; ? you'll have to do funky stuff if there's quotes in the title or anything that gets escaped, like ', and \, etc -Original Message- From: lmlweb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 3:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Can I use variable appended to the end of a link if I'm not using it for SQL query?

No, not quite there yet - I've done the following and it still doesnt' show up.
