Hello, I have a couple of CCS ASP applications where I create a custom block (template) within my record form that contains one variable, "Message." When a user adds, modifies or deletes a record, I use those CCS events to append "&Message=The record has been whatever" to the return page variable (Redirect). On my return page -- in this case, the same record form -- I use the BeforeShow event and the GetParam function to retrieve the value from the query string and then replace the Message variable of my custom block with that text. Works like a charm.
Only I can't figure out how to do using PHP. I'm using the examples for using Custom Templates from the Help file, but I think the problem (at least with the After Update event) is that the Redirect variable is not being appended with my Message text. Is the Redirect different for PHP than it is for ASP? Does anyone have some idea how I can pass these simple message via a query string and reload the same page with my Message showing?
Thanks, as always, for your help!

Which event did you use to manipulate the $Redirect variable?
A good example may be the MultiStepRegistration1 page in CCS Example Pack. It contains PHP code that also alters the $Redirect.

Hello, Peter. Thanks for the tip, but it seems my example pack is written in ASP (at least the MultiStep Registration example is in ASP).
Anyway, I don't think it's a matter of bad syntax or not knowing enough PHP. I am using the After Update event. My code is simply:
$Redirect = $Redirect . "&Message=Information has been updated.";
I just tried it in the After Execute Update event, but that doesn't work either. The record updates, the Return Page is loaded (in this case it's the same page), but the Message string is not showing up in the query string of the URL.
Got another idea?

The example pack works OK with PHP. This example is also live at http://examples.codecharge.com/ExamplePack/MultiStepReg...gistration1.php
You will need to select PHP when creating new project based on the example pack. Only the events in one specified language are copied into your project.

Peter, thanks -- my mistake was a simple one and I was able to uncover it simply by looking at the same code in the example pack.
I forgot to declare the $Redirect variable as a global variable.
Many thanks!
