Passing arguments to PHP scripts within WordPress?

did you try ($_POST[‘op’]==’rate) instead?

Yep, no difference. Here’s the code (if it will let me post this)…

thanks!

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

instead of:
if ($_POST['op']=='rate')
try something simple like:
if (isset($_POST['op']) die($_POST['op']);

That’s a starting point.

While $_POST does have stripslashes_deep and add_magic_quotes run on it (which might give you slightly different results than you expect…), I don’t see anything that is otherwise doing something like unset($_POST[…]) or similar. The variables should be surviving.

HOWEVER, given what you are trying to do, and the fact you are already using some minimal javascript, have you considered using some simple AJAX (well, AJAH, that is AJAX minus the xml…) instead of the standard HTML form posting? Then you could have a different piece of code, outside of WP’s control, that processes the custom script… Just a thought.

Aha!

Your suggestion did work (and thanks for the debug tip). $_POST[‘variable’] seems to work fine. The problem was I replaced instances of $op with $_POST[‘op’], but I hadn’t done the same for $r and $id. After that, things seem to be working.

Interesting suggestion RE: Ajax. I looked into it a bit; looks promising. However, I think I can do all I need to do here without it now that you provided the secret sauce.

Thanks very much!
