Thanks for the tips.
The site has PHP 4.3.9. The site also contains squirrelmail, so
register_globals needs to remain 'on' (I tried it turned 'off' and
the whole thing fell apart!)
I tried your samples and the results are further down.
The variables I am concerned with are in the following statement:
$Result = saveVac($txtStartDate, $txtEndDate, $Priority, $vdays,
$body);
and
function showInputForm () {
global $send_to, $send_to_cc, $body, $subject, $org_logo, $btn,
$txtStartDate, $txtEndDate, $Priority, $txtNumReq,
$chkmsg, .....etc...
Only thing I may be missing - within the HTML code, how do you assign
values to session variables? The following is PHP code that I use to
display the $txtStartDate value and allow the user to change, either
manually or via the calendar button:
Start Date <input type=\"text\" name=txtStartDate id=txtStartDate size=
\"20\" tabindex=\"1\" value=\"" . $txtStartDate ."\"> <A HREF=\"#\"
onClick=
\"cal5.select(document.forms['request'].txtStartDate,'anchor5','MM/dd/
yyyy'); return false;\"
can I use:
Start Date <input type=\"text\" name=txtStartDate id=txtStartDate size=
\"20\" tabindex=\"1\" value=\"" . $_SESSION['txtStartDate'] ."\"> <A
HREF=\"#\" onClick=
\"cal5.select(document.forms['request'].txtStartDate,'anchor5','MM/dd/
yyyy'); return false;\"
Thanks

I have to admit, my PHP skills are quite light.
