That last tip about the redirecting to itself was what I was missing. THANK YOU!
But pls understand if I don't deliver on the love child.....
For those who follow, was resolved by adding the following to cart.php:
Code:
if (!empty($delivery_date))
$url_args[] = "delivery_date=".$delivery_date;
...below this:
Code:
if (!empty($paymentid))
$url_args[] = "paymentid=".$paymentid;
This makes the posted variable $delivery_date available to all code in cart.php following this redirect:
Code:
if ($return_url)
func_header_location($return_url);
This forum is fantastic - few forums offer such benevolent experts willing to give others a hand. I applaud all that contribute.
thx & I hope this solution helps someone else,
