Getting Posted Variables

Hi, I have a weform that gets data from the user... i then Post the data to the next page which processes it and enters it into the database.

How do i get the values of the variables that were posted to the next page?


In PHP you simply put

$Title = $_POST[txtTitle]

In ASP i have no clue :(

Thanks!

I am not sure how to get posted variables, but I use Request.QueryString for query string values. Maybe what you are looking for is in the Request object.

What do you mean by query string values?

I just want to get the values of the textboxes on the last page that were posted to the next page.


For example i have a form tag

VB Code:

<form name="form" action="addnews2.aspx" method="post">
 
'and inside that form i have 2 text fields
 
<input id="txtTitle" type="text" maxLength="75" size="50" name="txtTitle" runat="server">
 
<input id="txtNews" type="text" maxLength="75" size="50" name="txtTitle" runat="server">
 
'then i have a submit button
 
<input onmousedown="Validate()" type="submit" value="Add News" name="Submit">
 
</form>

So when someone clicks the Add News button it Posts the info in those text boxes to the server and goes to the next page addnews2.aspx. Now i want to get the values of those textboxes and use them in addnews2.aspx.


Am i going about thsi the wrong way? That's how it's done in PHP, i assumed that's how it was done in ASP too..:confused:

You need the HttpRequest.Form method to return a NameValueCollection that contains your data.

Thanks, I went to the page and tried the code but as usual it doesn't work, msdn code never seems to work.

VB Code:

Dim loop1 As Integer
        Dim arr1() As String
        Dim coll As NameValueCollection
        ' Load Form variables into NameValueCollection variable.
        coll = Request.Form
 
        ' Get names of all forms into a string array.
        arr1 = coll.AllKeys
        For loop1 = 0 To arr1.GetUpperBound(0)
            Response.Write("Form: " & arr1(loop1) & "<br>")
        Next loop1

I assume i need to import some class or something becasue it is saying the NameValueCollection type is not defined..

I also tried using the HttpRequest.Form thing and got basically the same thing.

Anyone have a working example?

Thanks!:D

Request.form("txtTitle") is the same thing as $_POST[txtTitle]
in PHP.

Ahh cool deal. Works great! Thanks!:D

The above code works, you just have to import System.Collections.Specialized

If you ever have a problem like that again, where it says NameValueCollection isn't defined, just do a search on the object in the msdn library, you will find its object tree to refer to what to import.
