Form data problem

[DjTaz]

Im trying to write a new script for VB 3.5 - i can do this mo problems in normal PHP , but i seem to run into issues on the boards.

I have the custom page done as instructed and all that looks great - it selects the info from the database and places it into a form i have created.

My issue is - when i submit the form and return it to the same page , some of the data seems to be ignored ...

for example :

      				<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"empty\" value='".$line['linkname']."'>
         			<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"number\" value='".($x-1)."'>
         			<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"updated\" value=\"1\">

If i use that in the form - and i use a GET system - i can see the data in the address bar , but if i put somewhere in the code ....

 
if ($updated == "1" )
{ blah blah }

or even

echo $updated;

it seems to completely ignore that variable as if it didnt exist , though i know its being passed onto that page ..... is there something small im missing ?

I cant seem to figure it out ?
