Crap, accidentally put this in the wrong forum. Will a mod please move this to Server Side Programming? Thanks! 🙂 I’m testing a class/sql library i found for parsing zip codes and returning info about them. Here’s my code: **getinfo.php** ```auto ", ">", $s); $s=str_replace("'", "'", $s); $s=str_replace("\"", """, $s); return $s; } $zipCode = safehtml($_POST["zipcd"]); echo safehtml($_POST["zipcd"]); $details = $z->get_zip_details($zipCode); if (empty($details)) echo 'Error: '.$z->last_error; else { foreach ($details as $key => $value) { $key = str_replace('_',' ',$key); $key = ucwords($key); echo "$key: $value
"; } } ?> ``` \*\*index.html \*\* ```auto Untitled Document

Get Info About a ZIP Code:


``` Everything works fine(loads getinfo.php into the div and returns correctly), BUT… I’ve been able to narrow the problem down to the use of $\_POST to pass in the zip code, as I get an error unless I set the ZIP manually in getinfo.php. EX: I get it working correctly using: ```auto $zipCode = "97501"; ``` Instead of: ```auto $zipCode = safehtml($_POST["zipcd"]); ``` So, I’m assuming that PageAX just dropping(or not even sending) the $\_POST info and is returning the error because $zipCode doesn’t contain any info. Any ideas on how to solve my little problem? Thanks a whole bunch and _high five_ in advance! 🙂
