query string

[DanceArt]

I've been trying to get the value of one of my form fields into the "thankyou" page. I've been following the tutorial "Displaying data on POST form receipt pages".
After going through it several times, I realized that something is already going wrong in the first step: "At this point you might want to confirm that it's working as you'd expect. Return to your form and put through a submission. You should see that when you get redirected to the receipt page there's a ?submission_id=X value in the query string."
I don't see any extended value (I checked "pass on") when I submit the form; I just get the thankyou.php page.

Is there something I should have done in addition?

Hi DanceArt,

Huh, no! That's all you should need to do. Could you just double-check that the "pass on" field is checked? (You'll need to click "Update" at the bottom of that page any time you change anything there). That's really the only thing you need to send those values along via the query string when working with POST forms.

Also check it's the right form that you're editing. I sometimes do that myself.

Thanks Ben,

Yes, I checked it over and over again and there is only one form.
Since it's only a test setup, could I maybe send you the access information?
