Trigger event two when using method POST

[bluesauceuk]

Hello,

I have a provider that uses a POST method to my cfm page to trigger an event on my server.

I would like this in turn to make another descision and then do something but it doesn't work!

<CFSET datesent=&quot;#lcase(dateformat(Now()))#&quot;>
<CFSET timesent=&quot;#timeformat(Now())#&quot;>
<CFSET form.datesent=datesent>
<CFSET form.timesent=timesent>

<CFINSERT ....> THIS WORKS TOO!

<cfmail ..............................>
THIS BIT WORKS!
</cfmail>

<CFOUTPUT> AND THIS WORKS TOO...
WHEN: #datesent# #timesent#<BR>
SENDER: #url.sender# (#form.sender#)<BR>
KEYWORD: #url.keyword# (#form.keyword#)<BR>
MESSAGE: #url.message# (#form.message#)
</CFOUTPUT>
OK


THIS IS THE ONE BIT THAT WON'T TRIGGER EVENT 2...

<CFIF #form.keyword# EQ &quot;trax&quot;>
<CFLOCATION URL=&quot;keyword_trax.cfm&quot;>
</CFIF>

______________-
is this because it is a POST?

Help!

Thanks!

try
<CFIF #lcase(trim(form.keyword))# EQ &quot;trax&quot;>

I'm not clear on what EVENT 1 or EVENT 2 is... so if you could give a little more information, it would be helpful.

Also, what do you mean by &quot;It won't work&quot;? Are you getting an error message? Or ..?

It is all to do with the way &quot;they&quot; are calling this page.

This page (shown above) is called by another system using PHP. This is done the POST way... this way uses the form variables.

An aside... I assume this method is similar to... someone else using a <CFHTTP method=&quot;post&quot;...

So &quot;they&quot; use the POST method to awake my page. (this event is triggered by using a phone message)

Now for some reason.. this will send the email.. but I would like it to call another page. But for some reason the POST thing is stopping the page firing!

any help will be greatfully appreciated?

Thanks



BTW: The trim thing didn't work.

Check to see if using cfinclude instead of cflocation posts the data.

If this does fix the problem, you may want to add the ADDTOKEN=&quot;Yes&quot; parameter to the cflocation tag - but of course doing so carries some implications.

have you tried outputting #form.keyword# to see what comes up?

How do you know <CFLOCATION URL=&quot;keyword_trax.cfm&quot;> is not being triggered?

Can you post pertinent code that exists on keyword_trax.cfm? That may help us help you.

 

[bluesauceuk]

All that happens is a CFMAIL! I don't want to post this as there is a secuirty issue. But keyword_trax.cfm works!

As bombboy said, &quot;have you tried outputting #form.keyword# to see what comes up?&quot;. In other words, maybe the condition &quot;really is&quot; returning false due to form.keyword not being equal to &quot;trax&quot;.

Have you tried to replace cflocation with cfinclude?

For troubleshooting try:
<CFIF form.keyword EQ &quot;trax&quot;>
<CFLOCATION URL=&quot;keyword_trax.cfm&quot;>
<CFELSE>
<CFOUTPUT>#form.keyword#</CFOUTPUT>
</CFIF>

Let us know.

I think bombboy had the right idea. The keyword variable probably exists, but isn't in the case that you expect.

Try:

<CFIF CompareNoCase(trim(form.keyword),&quot;trax&quot;) EQ 0> 
   <CFLOCATION URL=&quot;keyword_trax.cfm&quot;>
</CFIF>

Also... is there a reason why you're trying to SET variables in the FORM scope?

<CFSET form.datesent=datesent>
<CFSET form.timesent=timesent>

This would be pretty unusual. There are cases where you want to do this... but this doesn't sound like one of those cases.
