input type hidden is not transferred

Anon

thanx for your support so far. I found out that my problem still remains and I think my main problem is that the hidden input type is not submitted. When my form is browsed it is initialized like "http:www.myForm.com/?poser=ACME"

Now my selection lists are generated according to the poser. Now the user selects some value this value will be submitted and the poser which I thougt is submitted by the hidden field should be transferred as well.

But if i do so the hidden value is empty.

Can someone help me?

Thank you very much in advance

This is the code snippet, which is wrapped in form tags:

echo"<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poser\" value=\"$poser\">";

	$queryKey			=	"SELECT keyword " 
			  				."FROM KeywordGroup "
			  				."WHERE poserName LIKE \"$poser\" ";					//Keyword table// (AND ktype LIKE 'Contest')

	echo"<select name=\"selectKey[]\" onChange=\"jumpMenu('parent',this,0)\">";		

	if(empty($keywordSENT))															//Initial state no keyword selected
	{	
		$resKey	=	sybase_query($queryKey);										//Result Set of keywords for poser

		$x=0;

		while($keyword = sybase_fetch_row($resKey))									//Reads result tuples
		{	
			if($x == 0){$keywordSENT = $keyword[0]; }								//Initial keyword is keywordSENT
			$x++;

			echo"<option  name=\"keywordSENT\" value= \"$keyword[0]\">$keyword[0]</option>";
		}		
	}
	else																			//Conditioned state
	{		
		$resKey	=	sybase_query($queryKey);

		while($keyword = sybase_fetch_row($resKey))
		{
			if($keywordSENT == $keyword[0])
			{
				echo"<option  name=\"keywordSENT\" value= \"$keyword[0]\" selected>$keyword[0]</option>";
			}
			else
			{
				echo"<option  name=\"keywordSENT\" value= \"$keyword[0]\">$keyword[0]</option>";
			}			

		}
	}		

    echo"</select>";

This might sound a little simple, but have you made sure that in your <form> statement you have included method=post?

ie.

echo <form action=\"whatever\" method=\"post\">

Good Luck,

Chris

Yes I did method=post action=PHP_SELF.

Hi,

You mean "action=$PHP_SELF" with the variable declared as global? I have had problems with some browsers when it came to forms. I then realised that the $PHP_SELF-variable was not declared global.
