Passing URL date variables

I'm a PHP programmer, not ASP so this may be a very simple question:

I am trying to pass two variables to an ASP page so I can display a coresponding crystal report. The variables are start_date and end_date. Here is the code:

--== <index.html - Start> ==--

<form method="get" action="display.asp">
Date Range: From <input type="text" name="start_date" value="2/1/03"> To <input type="text" name="end_date" value="2/1/03"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Display"> <input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>

--== <index.html - end> ==--

--== <display.asp - start> ==--
Set StartDate = request.QUERY_STRING("start_date")
Set EndDate = request.QUERY_STRING("end_date")
Session("oRpt").ParameterFields.GetItemByName("Start_Date").AddCurrentValue(CDate("StartDate"))
Session("oRpt").ParameterFields.GetItemByName("End_Date").AddCurrentValue(CDate("EndDate"))
--== <display.asp - end> ==--

I know so little about ASP that I can't even get it to display on the page to make sure the variables are being passed properly.

Any help would be appreciated!

I think all you need to do is remove the sets. So you should just have this

I removed the sets and got the same thing.

I did notice however that the date that is getting passed in the URL is:

display.asp?start_date=3%2F1%2F03&end_date=3%2F30%2F03

I need it to get converted back to:

display.asp?start_date=3/1/03&end_date=3/30/03

How would I replace "%2F" with "/"?

I guess this is asking two seperate questions?

You don't need to decode those chars, if you access your parameters via Request.QueryString("start_date") those % thingies will be decoded and you get your original format.

Well so much for that idea. Thanks for the info.

This is to serve a Crystal Report, I'm going to give them a call in a little bit and see what they say. Thanks for the help.

I will post the answer if I get one.

Set StartDate = request.QUERYSTRING("start_date")
Set EndDate = request.QUERYSTRING("end_date")
Session("oRpt").ParameterFields.GetItemByName("Start_Date").AddCurrentValue(CDate(StartDate))
Session("oRpt").ParameterFields.GetItemByName("End_Date").AddCurrentValue(CDate(EndDate))

Take the _ out of QUERY_STRING and remove the "" from the (CDATE("EndDate"))

Thanks for the help.

DOH
HA I didn't even see the underscore their.
