Re: form values

Bryan, Reposting all the variables as 'hidden' values should work. Also, if your code is in a function, make sure the variables you need are defined globally within the function, otherwise they will be unset. Also: > <input type=hidden name='fname'<?php "> > value='$f_name'>"; ?> I don't think "value='$f_name'" will do anything useful without an echo command, ie: <input type=hidden name='fname' value='<?php echo $f_name?>'> Jeff bryan brown wrote: > > Ill continue posting this question in hopes to get > a solution that works.
