Thread: Passing Post Variables

  1. #1

    Passing Post Variables

    im trying to pass a variable to a PHP page to send out an email. there is no problem with sending using GET.

    but, the information im sending is bigger then 256 characters, so i decided to use POST. However, my POST variables always get dropped, even when i started out with a variable containing 5 characters long value.

    im open to any suggestions.

    thanks

    Hey musicman!

    before i didn't bother to put the one using POST cuz i didn't work. now i posted up and i tested it and it worked!

    the whole time i was testing the movie use the test mode instead of openning the file in the browser. i guess thats the reason why it wasn't working. (is the reason?)

    just wanna say thanx again man

    Hi,

    there are a few things you can do better in the authoring environment (such as list vars and objects)
    and there are a few things you can do better in the browser - or even running a local test server - like testing under realistic web conditions

    At least F5 standalone was unable to POST, not sure about MX ....
