Not able to access Request variables? It's urgent

[jollyguy77]

Hi,

In the activities tab, i have modified the page by adding a variable "Rectype". The rectype contains 3 different action
1. Calls
2. Meeting
3. To-Do's.
Whenever a user wants to save, they have to select 1 of the rectype to save what type of activites they want to save. I will be saving it in the database. I have also modified the shortcut menus by adding an extra menu item "To-Do's", so that when they select the "To-Do's" it will only fetch the records that have the rectype "To-Do". For doing this i am passing a variable "Rectype" to the querystring and depending on that i have changed the query and i am also getting the correct resultset.

I have a Testing Server that has the same scenario as the Staging server. I have put the modified code in both the Test and Staging server. When i tested it in the Testing sever, it work fine so i put the same code in the staging server. Now i have a strange problem, When i click on the "To-Do's" in the shortcut menu in the Testing server, i am not getting the correct resultset. By debugging i found out that the variable "Rectype" that i am passing in the querystring does not contain the value by for it when i try to get the value by using $_REQUEST['Rectype']. Even though the value is set in the querystring, i am not able to get the value for it.

Now in the Staging server, it' working fine. There is no problem in getting the correct resultset for the "To-Do's". I am stumped about this problem. Can someone help me out.

» Operating system type and version :- WindowsXP
» Sugar version and edition : 5.2.0h Community Edition
» Webserver type and version : IIS 6
» Database : SQL Sever 2005.

Thanks,
