Querystring not working

[Telsa]

I'm trying to capture the values in the URL that is the result of redirection. The values are in the URL but when I do the following code, I get nothing.


strPDSID = Request.Form("pdsid&quot

If isempty("strPDSID&quot Then
strPDSID = request.querystring("pdsid&quot
End if


Can anyone see why this won't work or give me clues otherwise to get the value? Mary

MMmmmm, when you POST something with a FORM, you retrieve a variable value with request.form.
When you call another page with a parameter (test.asp?pdsid=youknow) you use request.querystring.

sometimes you mix both methods, so then it makes sense to write something like this:

' Test the POST method
strPDSID = Request.Form("pdsid&quot
If strPDSID="" Then
' Test the parameter methode
strPDSID = request.querystring("pdsid&quot
if strPDSID = "" then
response.redirect "errorpage.asp"
response.end
end if
end if

This page shows up from a redirection (response.redirect "pds_reviewexisting.asp?pdsid=" & Request.Form("pdsid&quot).

And the URL does show the name/value combo correctly. But apparently the Request.querystring won't capture what is in the URL.

Just can't understand why I can't get the values from the URL! Doesn't make sense to me. Mary

Try: server.URLencode("pdsid&quot br

Nope, didn't work. Darn! Won't capture it. Very weird.

A) oke, test what we are sending:

change:
response.redirect "pds_reviewexisting.asp?pdsid=" &_
Request.Form("pdsid&quot

into:

response.write "pds_reviewexisting.asp?pdsid=" &_
Request.Form("pdsid&quot
response.end




B)
In pds_reviewexisting.asp you have a
cPDSid = request.querystring("pdsid&quot

[or something like that]

???

Apply first:

Server.Urlencode(myQueryString) before appending it to the redirected URL. Otherwise you cannot send signs like &,$,space and so on.

Hope this helps, s-)

I'm getting this in the Address field. But my page is not populating.

pds_reviewexisting.asp?pdsid=656

If I hardcode the 656, it works. And I have this at top of page to see if the value is getting captured...

intPDSID = Request.Form("pdsid&quot
If isempty("intPDSID&quot Then
intPDSID = Request.Querystring("pdsid&quot
End if
response.write "PDSID = " & intPDSID

But it's not. Mary

Why do you insist on putting the name of a ASP variable inside quotes.

If isempty("intPDSID") Then

You just asked if the literal string "intPDSID" ISEmpty which it ain't never gonna be because the value inside the literal IS LITERALLY intPDSID.
ASP variables and REQUEST variables ar two different animals.
