Using GET instead of POST

Using GET instead of POST

After a form is submitted, I need to pass certain form data to a thank-you page so I can process it into a printable user name tag. I tried setting the form to GET instead of POST but that breaks everything (no form data is being sent and page isn't redirected). It needs to be simple (no database). Is this possible with UE?

you should leave it to use the post instead of get.


add the following code at line 1 of the page:

php:
<?php

if(!session_id()) session_start();
if(
$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")     {
    foreach(
$_POST as $key => $val) {
        
$_SESSION[$key] = $val;    
    }
}
?>




this will store the posted elements into session variables of the same name.

On the thank you page, instead of echoing the post:

php:
<?php echo((isset($_POST["textfield"]))?$_POST["textfield"]:""?>



use the session:

php:
<?php echo((isset($_SESSION["textfield"]))?$_SESSION["textfield"]:""?>

Works...with small addition

Didn't work until the top of the thank-you page included:

<?php
session_start();
?>

Thanks!

Placing the code at the top of the page didn't work for me. I modified the code further down the page and it works properly.

Original Universal Email Code:

<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION))session_start();
if (($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")) {
//WA Universal Email object="mail"



Modified Code:

<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION))session_start();
if (($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")) {
foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {
$_SESSION[$key] = $val;
}
//WA Universal Email object="mail"
