Handling extra form variables
Hey all, how's it going?
Ok, I have a small config question, and I know you geniuses can figure it out Wink

I've got a client that has an HTML based page set and a Flash based page set. The Flash pages are not all flash, but enahnced in the nav area. The HTML based pages use static, linked images for navigation. When users hit their site, I do a little browser/plugin sniffing, then route them to the appropriate pages.

No here's the sticky part. I'd like to pass a variable to DBMan called "hasFlash" and it would be 0 or 1 based on what page they came from to view the product DB.

In the HTML.pl file, I'll have an if statement that checks hasFlash and creates the navigation as needed, and also write the hidden field to the page.

The question is, how do I reference the hasFlash variable once I've passed it to DBMan?

Sorry, I'm pretty darn good at any language except perl. Thanks for the help!
