Passing Variables in final pages...

[elogicmedia]

Hi, I am trying to pass an extra variable from the checkout confirmation page to the checkout success page however it seems to become lost when I do so.

 

I noticed when you click on the form/Confirm Order button there is a form and I have managed to get the variable to be hidden within this however when the page gets to checkout_success it has disapeared.

 

I also noticed that there is something to do with a checkout_process page then a re-direct.

 

I tried the following:

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SUCCESS, 'new_web_subscriber='. $new_web_subscriber,'order_id='. $insert_id, 'SSL'));

 

where the $new_web_subscriber is the variable I need to pass but this did not work.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thankyou

The form that goes from checkout_confirmation to checkout_process when I view source is:

 

<form name="checkout_confirmation" action="http://localhost/clients/www.fwamedia.com.au/onlinestore/checkout_process.php?new_web_subscriber=1&osCsid=690cff290afbe75441bf447a618460cc" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="osCsid" value="690cff290afbe75441bf447a618460cc" /><input type="image" src="templates/Original/images/buttons/english/button_confirm_order.gif?osCsid=690cff290afbe75441bf447a618460cc" border="0" alt="Confirm Order" title=" Confirm Order "></form>

You don't want to add a variable into that form as that form changes depending on payment method used.

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SUCCESS, 'new_web_subscriber='. $new_web_subscriber,'&order_id='. $insert_id, 'SSL'));

 

Another way to do it is register the variable in the session then check for it on the success page and use it if it exists.
