Description:
------------
I'm trying to use the function import_request_variables exactly as the manual example and my variable returns empty.

Reproduce code:
---------------
import_request_variables("P", "frm_");
echo $frm_nameField;

Expected result:
----------------
the value of nameField of the form.
:
<input type="text" name="nomeField" maxlength="50" size="35"> 

the method of the form is post
<form method=post action="some.php?tab=pes"> 

Actual result:
--------------
blank. The echo does not output anything, only when I use:
echo $_POST["nomeField"];

nomeField = nameField at the source code, I made a mistake only here not in the source code. Thanks.

I still unable to get import_request_variables function working properly after install of php stable version. I do one print_r($_POST); and every form name/value is there. I really don't know what is wrong.
my function: function foo()
{
	import_request_variables("P", "frm_");
	echo $frm_nomeField;
}

but a // print_r($_POST); shows nomeField

any suggestion?
thanks.

You're just doing something wrong. This works just fine:

test.php:
-----------------------8<----------------------
<form action="test.php" method="post">
<input type=text name="plain" value="foo">                                                     
<input type=submit><br>
</form>
<?php

import_request_variables("P", "frm_");

if (isset($frm_plain)) {     
    echo "\$frm_plain is set to '$frm_plain'";
} else {
    echo "\$frm_plain is not set!";
}
  
?>
-----------------------8<----------------------

Please try the above example. It works just fine for me..

Ok, I tryed the same example and it worked fine to me now. But when I put the function import_request_variables inside another function it doesn't get the values back. Maybe need I use some "$globals" to access it? Thank you.

Please ask support questions like that elsewhere, this is not some newbie support forum. (this is NOT any bug)

this was not a newbie question, maybe you can add some note in the help file as the others functions has. Sorry and thank you anyway.
