Re^4: Passing form parameters same CGI page

Poj & Preceptor

Thanks for your input. I am using strict & warnings now. I have also put placeholders. That brings no change or warnings to what i was already getting. About using 'get', yes that have been helpful as it updates my url with action=Update or Delete in place of search.. but it looses all the other parameters. My url gets truncated from : http://localhost/cgi-bin/PROJECT/sqlconfig.cgi?lname=&fname=&phone=&email=&address=&zip=&lname1=Puma&fname1=Matthew&action=Search

http://localhost/cgi-bin/PROJECT/sqlconfig.cgi?action=Update

However, if I manually replace action=Search with Delete or Update, it utilizes the functions. So my basic need is to just be able to pass all the parameters with 'get'. Any ideas?

That has just revealed what is _actually_ happening. You have created multiple forms and the one you are submitting has no input fields. The way I can think of to handle this is, INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN, and start the form before the search results. (Fixing the invariant fields, and prepopulating the ones which can be changed).	[reply]
