Re: form posting to a fake page

No, the error handler does not have access to the posted data. The problem in a nutshell: 1. Person fills out form; clicks submit 2. Form action property is called; server notices the page is not real (Data is lost here) 3.

If someone clicks a submit button, and it is posting to a page that doesn't really exist,

then when the index.php file gets called as a 404 errordocument, the posted variables are already lost, so it wouldn't be possible to access the posted variables in any fashion. The only possibility might be if Apache had some way of dealing with this scenario and I am not that familiar with how Apache works. And so, that leaves me with the only workaround I do know, post

to a page that does exist! It's just not the ideal solution, but it works. Well, depending on the quantity of posted data, you could go through $_POST[] and turn them into GET args and pass them along to the appropriate page (not that I really understand what you're trying to do). miguel _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
