Working with advancedform library

[arlequin]

The advanced form library <

http://phpclasses.psbweb.com/browse.html/package/602.html>

is wonderful, allows a non-designer to use the OO technology to create a beautiful form!

However, I want to have a hiden field but I can't find the way to do that. I tried using the display-only property of the TextField object in order to read it using the PHP $_POST array but I realized that it's not dumped in HTML like a hidden form field, but as normal text, so it's not present in the $_POST array. I can't write directy using echo or print 'cause the form is dumped in the end of the script through one of its methods.

Anyone has dealed with an issue like this?

TIA

arlequin,

If you use a hidden field in your form like this:

<FORM ACTION=&quot;something.php&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot;>
  <!-- your form data here... -->
  <INPUT TYPE=&quot;hidden&quot; NAME=&quot;secret&quot; VALUE=&quot;my secret&quot;>
</FORM>

Then this (and the rest of the form fields) can be retrieved through

$_REQUEST["

fieldname

"];

in the ACTION-page, like this:

<? 
  $secret = $_REQUEST[&quot;secret&quot;];  // in this example $secret will be = &quot;my secret&quot;
  // your code ...
?>

Good luck §;O)
