Hi, I am no programmer, but I am doing pretty well I think. I have a page that runs a query on a MYSQL database and returns the results and displays them on the page. Woohoo, go me. I have then placed an input text field after each item listed (note) and then a submit button(on each line). So my result looks something like this... Order Number Summary Note 12345 In Progress waiting on supplier [submit] 12344 Closed [submit] 12322 Waiting Not in production [submit] . . . 00823 Closed [submit] My query returns order number and Summary. The Note field is an input field and the [submit] is the submit button. My submit button goes to a note_add.php page which submits the note against the order number (or is supposed to). I can get the note passed to the next page (by simply calling "$note"), but not the order number. I have tried turning register_global=on in the php.ini to no avail. When I display the order number I am using the following syntax : <form method="post" action="note_add.php"> <td> <input colspan="0" type="hidden" name="order_id" > <?php echo string_get_order_view_link( $f_order_id ) ?> > </td> This displays the order number no worries (and of course the corresponding summary). My note that I input is done in the same file and displayed thus: </td> <td colspan="5"> <input type="text" name="order_note" value="" size="50" /> </td> <td> and I finally close the form after the submit button is printed: <td> <input type="submit" class="button" value="submit" /> </td> </form> In my note_add.php I am just displaying the data before I attempt to add it, so I just have (for the moment) <?php echo "$order_note"; echo "$order_id"; ?> I have also tried using GET and POST by adding (with register_globals=on in the php.ini) <?php $my_order_id= $_POST['order_id']; $my2_order_id=$_GET['order_id']; echo "$order_note"; echo "$my_order_id"; echo "$my2_order_id"; ?> but only my note comes through. Can someone PLEASE tell me where I am going wrong..please, please!
