When values in a record form are submitted for Insert, Update or Delete operations,
the server side code for the record form captures the submitted values and uses
them to create variables. These variables can be accessed in the server events
that occur after a record form's submission. Such events include the Before
and After Insert events as well as the corresponding events of the Update and
Delete operations. Among other things, these events are frequently used to manipulate
the submitted values or use the values to create and execute custom SQL queries.
This article shows how to retrieve the values of submitted form fields in different
languages.
In all of the examples below, note the following representative variables and
what they stand for. In your actual code, substitute these variables with the
actual names of the entity they represent.
FormName - The name of the record form containing the submitted form
field
FieldName - The name of the form field containing the submitted value
VariableName - The name of the variable that will be used to hold the
value of the submitted form field
ASP
Dim VariableName
VariableName = FormName.FieldName.Value
ASP.Net(C#)
VariableName = FormNameFieldName.Text;
Cold Fusion
<CFSET VariableName = FieldName>
PHP
$VariableName = $FormName->FieldName->GetValue();
PERL
$VariableName = $FormName->{FieldName}->GetValue();
JSP and Java Servelets
VariableName = ((com.codecharge.components.TextBox) ((com.codecharge.components.Record)
(e.getPage().getChild( "FormName" ))).getChild( "FieldName"
)).getValue(); //Assuming that the field submitting the value is a Text Box
field.
