If that's the case, something like global $wgRequest; $foo = $wgRequest->getText( 'foo' ); should do the trick. See also various other WebRequest functions for grabbing integers, seeing if checkboxes were passed, etc. If *not*, then can we have further information? Thanks, Rob Church Hi. Thanks for the reply. So, this is what I'm doing: - I'm trying to 'extend' mediawiki with my own app. - I have a table in the db that holds my extra info. - when a user edits a page, they have the ability to edit 'my' extra data as well. - I was planning on doing this through forms. So, in the edit page, there are a couple of textboxes, etc. -when the user clicks "Save", i want to be able to access the data in the text boxes. I've notice that the text area in the edit page, as well as the two buttons are form, using post as the method. So, I figured my extra functionality would piggy back of what is already there. However, when I try to access the $_POST variable it is empty. So far, I have not been able to figure out where/how the data from the user is processed. Hence, this posting Thanks again!

Thanks a lot. I'll look into it. If you want me to update you, please send a reply. Thanks!

For further information on hooks, take a look at docs/hooks.txt (it's in the default MediaWiki distribution packages and will be present in SVN checkouts, too).

Hello. I have written a customer from that I insert into the wiki pages. Thanks to Rob and hooks, I get can everything I need from the POST. I was wondering if there is a way to force mediawiki to save a page even if nothing has change, from mediawiki's perspective. A user might change the customer form, without changing the actual text of the wiki page. Thanks! Chris
