I started working with PFBC yesterday and I cannot figure out how to pass my URL $_GET variables and I’ve read every document available to no avail. The other thing I don’t see in the documentation are examples of hidden fields because I tried passing variables that way to no avail. I can see from var dump that the GET variables are picked up on page loading but I can’t pick them up upon ‘submit’. In my script below all variables show up fine except $ids. I’ve tried putting the GET variable into sessions, didnt work….hidden fields, didn’t work, and the way its listed below,didn’t work….for anyone familiar with this class its cake so some guidance here would help a ton. Im using pfbc2.2-php5 which doesnt have nearly the documentation of the old one. My code is:

This class makes this extremely easy. Not sure why I was struggling so bad. Just add these lines and pick up the POST on the back side. Works great. I really like this class. $hide = $_GET[‘nums’]; $form->addElement(new Element_Hidden(“hidden”, “$hide”));
