$http_post_vars

[lucilue2003]

Hello. I'm new to this forum, so i'll get right to it.

How do i do $HTTP_POST_VARS that for a multitude of many drop downs that are being generated by a shopping cart functions.
each drop is like this in html code:

<tr><td class="main"><b>Lanyard Width:</b></td><td>
<select name="id[11]"><option value="61">3/8&quot; - FREE</option><option value="60">1/2&quot; ($0.08)</option></select></td></tr><tr>

<tr><td class="main"><b>Quick Release Buckle:</b></td><td>
<select name="id[6]"><option value="36">None - FREE</option><option value="37">Quick release buckle ($0.15)</option></select></td></tr>

and so forth.
now when they hit submit it takes them to the same page, except now the header (address bar) will read:

http://www.blah.com/sample_request.php?action=success

as opposed to

http://www.blah.com/sample_request.php.

on the top of the page my code does this:

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {
if (tep_validate_email(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['email']))) {

and near the body is generates different html if action==send

so now my question again, how do i receive all the posted stuff ?
I tried using an global array to store the selected idds but that was unsuccessful because the id's would get lost right away.

To see the code, please see the attached.

well first of all, it would help if you were POSTing a form to grab post vars, i see nowhere where you have a form tag to post a form, otherwise if you are trying to get vars from a url/query, use the HTTP_GET_VARS method, or better yet $_GET['varname'] method, which is the latest method for PHP

Can you please give me an example of what i would need to change?

thank you for your help.

[stolzyboy]

for example, try changing this line

$fullname=$HTTP_POST_VARS['NAME'];

to this

$fullname=$HTTP_GET_VARS['NAME']; //NaME is case-sensitive

Hello again,

I tried that but with no luck.

I was wondering, im using an array that stores the id[xx] in the
<select name="id[7]"> and <select name="id[9]"> and all the other id[xx] that is generated by the other code. however, when they hit submit, that arrays gets wiped out. The only stuff that is sent to the email is the stupid

<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_STATE; ?><br><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('STATE', ($error ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['STATE'] : $state)); ?></td>
</tr>

      <tr>
        <td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_POST_CODE; ?><br><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('POSTCODE', ($error ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['POSTCODE'] : $postcode)); if ($error) echo ENTRY_POST_CODE_ERROR; ?></td>
      </tr>

but the drowp downs aren't

is there a way to collect every thing that is on a page that has
<select name="blah"> without knowing what the name will be ?

Thanks.

PLEASE HELP ME:

code:

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {
if (tep_validate_email(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['email']))) {
//Prepare email.

$mailcontent = "";

foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
    {
      $mailcontent .= $key . "=" . $value . "\n" ;
      $mailcontent .= "calling function: " . print_r ($value) . "\n\n";
    }

  tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $mailcontent, $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'], $HTTP_POST_VARS['email']);
  tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_SAMPLE_REQUEST, 'action=success'));
} else {
  $error = true;
}
