Still haven't got a test set up. So trying the quicker easier way.. Hey everyone, in which versions of server are sessions not broken?

Re: Using the $_POST global in LiveCode server
Version 7.1.0 doesn't seem to work. (the version used by on-rev.) Pretty sure its been in this non-working condition for a while. (again, my faulty memory might be wrong) I'll try and set up a test for later versions, but pretty sure things were still working in the 6.x range of server engines.

Re: Using the $_POST global in LiveCode server
Its been a while since I messed with sessions, but that looks right. I seem to vaguely remember that there is some version of LC server where sessions is broken, but I can't recall for sure. What version of server are you running? (IIRC sessions was implemented some time around 4.6.3? And a later version was broken and later fixed) I'll see if I can relocate the info.

Re: Using the $_POST global in LiveCode server
Thanks, Mike. This seemed like a good hint/possible solution. Another though has just occurred to me also.. If you use session variables, you can store the search term in the session, and since the browser will re-post on reload, if $_POST and your session variable contain the same search term, its possible (likely?) that it was a reload rather than a new search, then don't do the search. Not sure if this is helpful, However, when I tried and the server returned the error file "/home/pba/public_html/lifelinesearch.lc" row 2, col 1: This snippet is at the very top of the page, so row 2 is "start session." Am I misundertanding the syntax of 'session'?

Re: Using the $_POST global in LiveCode server
I don't really understand what I've read yet, but I think what you're looking for is Post/Redirect/Get (prg) Basically.. Accept the post, process it, redirect to another page without the post. (One example I read basically placed the generated html into a session variable and displayed it after the get, then cleared it from the session so that a reload wouldn't show anything) Lots of examples in php, not sure how to implement with lc. Another though has just occurred to me also.. If you use session variables, you can store the search term in the session, and since the browser will re-post on reload, if $_POST and your session variable contain the same search term, its possible (likely?) that it was a reload rather than a new search, then don't do the search. Not sure if this is helpful, and not sure how to handle the back button either.

Using the $_POST global in LiveCode server
Hi, Is it possible to change, or even delete, the $_POST[] array in LiveCode server? I want to clear it after my script has pulled out the info it needs. Or, maybe there's another way to skin the cat. I have a search page that returns a list of our online TV programs. But even if the page is reloaded, the previous search term is still "live" in the $_P, so the page returns the previously searched list of programs. If a user reloads the page, I want the page to come up with no program list until they enter a new search term. Any pointers? Thanks!
