Re: Passing in and capturing userid

Hello, sorry this answer took a while.

This scenario has usually been addressed through the use of perl snippets. 
These have access to the argument line, ie the GET url.

<SURVEY TITLE="argument">

   <TEXT NAME="test" CAPTION="test" />

   <CUSTOM ESCAPED="no" VARIABLES="userid">
     <input type="hidden" name="userid" value="{\
       print $argument->ArgByName("userid") || "unknown";
     \}" />
   </CUSTOM>

</SURVEY>

You call this through, for example:

   http//127.0.0.1/mod_survey/argument.survey?action=display&userid=joepal

The action=display is important since you'll get an argument error 
otherwise.
