Request is only the current request. request.vars is a dictionary representing the URL's query string. If you want request.vars.visitor_name to be visible after a redirect, you must include it in the query string of the URL you're redirecting to. Alternatively you could store the visitor_name in session, making it visible to subsequent requests. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
