Short version:

I am including a file in my center block with a slightly modified version of PostWrap. This file has a form. It posts. When I open the second page, this one is also an include, to process those variables - it can't access $HTTP_POST_VARS. It thinks it's empty. Any thoughts as to why my variables aren't posting?

Long version:

This is a modified version of PostWrap. I didn't want to use iFrames, so I modified it as follows:

code:


	echo "\n\n<!-- Begin PostWrap Content -->\n";

	include ("$page");

	echo "<!-- End PostWrap Content -->\n\n";

So the page is simply being included in its entirity. Then I created 2 pages. They are contact.php and docontact.php. I can access them both through the site using:

code:


modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=Contact

modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=doContact<
br />

So I know that PostWrap is working fine. contact.php has the following form:

code:


<form 

   action="modules.php?

   op=modload&

   name=PostWrap&

   file=index&

   page=doContact" 

   method="post"

>

When I hit my submit button, things go through fine and it loads the page doContact.php. In doContat.php though, the following:

code:


	if ($HTTP_POST_VARS) {

		echo $HTTP_POST_VARS["from"];

	}

Returns nothing. To see if it was PostNuke causing problems, I modified the form parameters of contact.php so that it pointed to docontact.php and accessed the page directly. Accessing it directly, (www.mysite.com/contact.php) and submitting the form works fine. So somehow submitting this form in this way (through PostWrap & PostNuke) is either nulling the var $HTTP_POST_VARS, or those values aren't posting. Any comments?

Thanks in advance for any help.

In your form example, I don't think you can include all of those vars in the action. Try setting the action="modules.php" and pass the vars (i.e. op="modload") as hidden.
