Hi

Im trying to use cfhttp to post some variables to a new page. I then want the new page to be displayed, so i am using redirect="yes", but it is not redirecting, just staying on the posting page. Here is the code i have in the posting page and the redirect page:

post.cfm

<cfhttp url="receive.cfm" method="post" redirect="yes">
<cfhttpparam name="SessionID" value="#SessionID#" type="FormField">
<cfhttpparam name="Amount" value="#Amount#" type="FormField">
</cfhttp>

receive.cfm:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "<html xmlns="<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<cfoutput>
#Amount#
</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>

ive read somewhere that you need to return location in a header or something, but i cant find any examples or explanations. Does anyone know how this is done? Also once I am on the redirected page, how do i access variables sent from the post page?

Thanks

Rob

cfhttp is mainly for use with websites other than your own, i.e. someone else's website hosted on another server. If you're trying to pass info to another page on your site, you can just do it Url variables, or Forms, or Sessions, or any other means of locally passing info throughout your site.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Maybe we can help.


Hope This Helps!

<cfhttp> requires a FULL url path ( and not something like receive.cfm

ECAR is right in that you use <cfhttp> to grab/send/display info from an outside site.

What are you trying to accomplish?
