Re: HTML_QuickForm problems using $_REQUEST val for hidden element

What was the point of this response? If you were trying to be funny you failed as you also did at reading. I never said that was "fake" code but just a basic piece of code that replicates the problem I'm having. Should I paste a hundred lines of irrelevant code that produces the same result? I don't want to start a flame war here, I'm just someone new to QF who has probably made a very basic mistake and is looking for help. If you can't help me, move along. Alexey Borzov wrote:

Do not assume that QF results are stored in REQUEST but use QF to read the values.

Maybe that was a bad example.. In reality I'm not using $_REQUEST at all but another variable, I was just using this as a basic test. I am not trying to read the variable from QF but pass it along as the value for the hidden element. If I just use a string it works fine but if I use any sort of variable it returns nothing.

If you show fake code, expect to get fake answers.
