Very best to you all, Neil H yuniar on "Referencing input data in the redirect (thanks.htm) page" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/referencing-input-data-in-the-redirect-thankshtm-page#post-7416 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:37:52 +0000 yuniar 7416@https://www.machform.com/forums/ You need to enable session on your acknowledgement page. At the first line of the page, make sure to have this code: <pre><code><?php session_start(); ?></code></pre> neilo on "Referencing input data in the redirect (thanks.htm) page" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/referencing-input-data-in-the-redirect-thankshtm-page#post-7412 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 07:28:04 +0000 neilo 7412@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hello Redityo, I followed the directions there, and in my post-functions.php file I have put the two lines where you suggested. The lines are lines 1181, 1182: <pre><code>//if there is any error message or elements, send false as status if(empty($error_elements) && empty($process_result['custom_error'])){ $process_result['status'] = true; $_SESSION['is_valid_user'] = true; $_SESSION['form_data'] = $table_data;</code></pre> And in my thanks.php file which the confirm.php directs to, I have included the lines: <pre><code><?php echo 'Dear '. $_SESSION['form_data']['element_1']; ?> , Many thanks for your entry in to our poetry competition!</code></pre> The session variables don't seem to be being carried forward, because the page prints "Dear , Many thanks for your entry in to our poetry competition!" Do you have some advice as to where I am going wrong?

You can look at to this post for details : <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/how-to-limit-access-to-redirect-page-after-submission?replies=13#post-3170" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/how-to-limit-access-to-redirect-page-after-submission?replies=13#post-3170</a> But you need to have PHP page ("thanks.php") for that, not "thanks.html" neilo on "Referencing input data in the redirect (thanks.htm) page" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/referencing-input-data-in-the-redirect-thankshtm-page#post-7400 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:29:44 +0000 neilo 7400@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I could do with some expert advice from someone with PHP knowledge and a patient disposition. The forms work brilliantly, and do everything they're supposed to do. But what I need to happen is that once the form has been reviewed and submitted, and has redirected to an acknowledgement page, that the acknowledgement page can identify the record (ID) that has just been submitted and be able to echo some of the data from it (Name, options etc.). On the redirect page I can specify the database connection and create a recodset for the table that holds the information, but I don't know how to associate the newly submitted record ID with this page - i.e. so that this page can reflect that customer's particular details. I have zero knowledge of PHP (although I have started working through a book) and know that this is beyond the scope of normal support issues, but would be grateful for the generosity of anyone with the skills.
