	if(isset($_REQUEST["Password"])) {
		print_r($_REQUEST["Password"]);
	}else{
		echo "variable NOT set ...";
	}

?>

Hello

Strange…
Could you please prvide completed demo including all needed js/css/php files?

#3

Hi Andrei,

see attached zip file for all files required to run the html file.
The folders path has to be corrected.

Hope you can find a solution for me.
In my previous post the problem could be the on ValidateSuccess event ???

Demo works fine

response from php: login123

#5

Good evening,

unfortunately I still can NOT get the demo to run.
Not on my xampp webserver (localhost) and NOT on my webspace provider.
Attached I provide the phpinfo data from my localhost.

Any idea is very welcome.

could you please provide direct link?
add any file on server with code:

<?php print_r($_REQUEST); ?>

and provide its filename

#7

Good afternoon,

sorry for the delay …
Here is the live link to the file:
heliheyn.de/FlOps/test001.html

The file where I expect the data to be sent to:
heliheyn.de/FlOps/php/mirror.php

I am using Windows 7 Pro Sp 1, Browser IE 9.
I assume that there are somewhere security settings ???

Hope for help.

test001.html also works correctly

Response is:
Array
(
[Username] => login
[Password] => 123
)

try this way:
dhxForm.send(“php/mirror.php”, “post”, function®{
alert(r.xmlDoc.responseText);
});

Hi Andrei,

thank you for your reply.
With your suggestion the alert message from the website is correct. (see image)

But if I call mirror.php the output is only: Array()
with no further information.

Do you have any other idea ?
Thank you very much in advance.

This is because you call mirror.php w/o params
Try this link:
heliheyn.de/FlOps/php/mirror … _2=value_2

#11

Good afternoon Andrei,

could you please check the following live link:
heliheyn.de/FlOps/test003.html

[code] function doFormSend() {
Username = dhxForm.getItemValue(“Username”);
Password = dhxForm.getItemValue(“Password”);

		params = "Username="+Username+"&Password="+Password;
		document.writeln(params);
	
		dhtmlxAjax.post("php/mirror.php", params, callbackFunction);
		var loader = dhtmlxAjax.postSync("php/mirror.php", params);
		window.location.href = "php/mirror.php";
  }

[/code]

This works on my computer.
Is this the correct and intended way to hand over variables to a php file ???

Hi

What are you expecting from this demo?

Our form send data using ajax, in bg, it not reload page like regular form.

#13

Dear Andrei,

it is very fustrating. I do NOT manage to transfer variables from a form to a php file.
May be it’s my fault, because I simply don’t konw how to call the next page with a button click.

heliheyn.de/FlOps/test001.html displays correct values in alert window.
But when I call after button click the heliheyn.de/FlOps/php/mirror.php the values are lost and it says: Array().

I read through all documentation, I tried almost very line of source code but I am not able to transfer any variable from a form to a php file.

I would appreciate if you could please provide a working sample code that demonstrates the technique of transferring variables to a php file. And how to call the this php file the variables were sent to.

Regards
Juergen

Dear Andrei,

I need to get the following link to work:
heliheyn.de/FlOps/index.html

If I can’t manage to get the variables from the form transfered to mirror.php I have to terminate the evaluation of any dhtmlx components.

Regards
Juergen
