Can staticpages pass values to each other?

Hello - I am trying to use staticpages to do a form/PHP script operation. The staticpages don't seem to be passing the values from the form on staticpage1, HTML only, which calls staticpage2, PHP execute, in the form action.

Can this be done, or is there a better way to accomplish this goal? I am trying to simply let the user insert and read/display values from a database (not the GL database). Not too experienced with PHP.

Thanks... (GL 1.40sr2)

Just use the global $_POST array - your form values should be in there.

Hmm.. can you expand a little on that? I examined the $_POST array and it seemed to be empty.

Here's the calling HTML:
Text Formatted Code

 <form action ="/staticpages/index.php/findphp" method = "post" >
Enter SSAN:<br>
<input name = "ssan" type = text>
<br>
<input type = submit value = "Find">
</form>

 


And here's the recieving PHP:
Text Formatted Code


if (!$ssan)
 { echo "Nothing entered!";
    //exit;
}
echo $ssan;

 


Just a simple test to get it going.
