PHP and ActiveX Calendar Control

[DreamerZ]

I've added the ActiveX Calendar Control to a web page form. Currently, I just want to report on the variable (display it at Submit). Putting the name of the variable ($WR_StartDate) displays nothing.

What else is involved in displaying this date from the ActiveX Calendar Control on form submit? Do I need to reference the params or classid?

HELP!

It could be that the PHP runtime configuration directive "register_globals" is set to "off".

Depending on whether the form uses GET-method or POST-method, does the value appear in the $_GET or $_POST superglobal arrays, respectively?

Pretty new to PHP, so I don't know...looking up how to access the superglobal arrays currently.

Okay, I figured out how to access the global $_POST. I still get nothing with this code:

<?php echo $_POST["WR_StartDate"]; ?>

You mentioned registered globals? How do I check and/or turn that on if necessary?

If you're referencing $_POST['WR_StartDate'], the setting for register_globals doesn't matter. I recommend leaving it set to "off", as does the PHP online manual. I have a link in my earlier post on register_globals.


It could be a variable-naming problem. PHP variables are case-sensitive.

If could be that your ActiveX component needs to modify an existing form field, which then needs to be submitted.

Since it's just easier to remove the ActiveX control and go to a straight text box, I did...for now.

Variables were all named properly and I don't know how to update another field with an AfterUpdate in HTML so...

Thx for your help.
