I think that would return the IP address.... if you want the page url try using 'REQUEST_URI'

the page is here: http://shrishtiart.com/enquire.php?id=11231

id can be changed all the time.. so its basically to track id.

Put the Server variable into a hidden form element as the form submits. The action of the form doesn't have the url parameters, so it won't carry over to when the email is sent. By adding it to a hidden field you can refer to the hidden form element when you send the email.

wooo! that really made sense to me. you cleared most of my doubt which i had earlier. Thanks a lot Mr.Ray.

Really appreciate it. (y)

Well is there any way to save form field once field?
For the same enquire form.
Everytime there can be different id to track be sent to mail so it would be great if form field remains saved.
May be adding checkbox to remember fields entered earlier.

There is a "persistent form" server behavior that comes with DataBridge... you can use it to automatically save the form field values in either a cookie or session and re-populate for subsequent visits.

Just apply the persistent form server behavior and then use the bindings to set the values of the form fields from the persistent form entry that will become available.
