And here's the fix:

vBulletin wisely forces you to clean inputs. This is explained here:

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/codestandards_gpc :glasses:

For your Webtemplate PHP include, you can collect and clean variables (using an array) or a single variable (using key/value hash pair). I used the latter.

So, my one webtemplate POSTs a variable from a form field called 'formSetNo'.

In the target webtemplate, my php include is:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'formSetNo', TYPE_INT); 


The 'p' indicates to the clean_gpc function to look at the POSTed variable. See the documentation link for dealing with other types of input like GETs and COOKIEs.

To use the value in that variable in my php script in my target webtemplate, I use something like this:

PHP Code:

$colname__Recordset2 =  $vbulletin->GPC['formSetNo']; 


Now $colname_Recordset2, which I use to do work elsewhere in my php code, has the value from the POSTed variable! Yay!

Nice to see that vB has a way to do this and it works with WT :banana:
