VDaemon Error: Page is accessed using POST method, but valid

[justin]

I keep getting this error. I use a form to get to another form where vdaemon does its magic, but to get to the second page, i use POST and so i get this:

VDaemon Error: Page is accessed using POST method, but validators information isn't defined.

How do I get around it or how do i define it?

thanks.

Firstly read this topic. Now you must have intention about this error.

If you get this error when submit some VDaemon form then something wrong with your form. May be you forgot to add runat="vdaemon" attribute to the <form> tag or you forgot to add VDEnd() call to the end of your page (for v 2.4.0 or later). Check that your form parsed by VDaemon. To do this open browser's page source (in IE use menu View -> Source) and find "VDaemonValidators" hidden input. If it present then form OK, if not - something wrong. You will not get this error after submitting properly designed VDaemon forms.

But if you do not concern security then feel free to set VDAEMON_POST_SECURITY option to false in the config.php file:

well, i was using a vdaemon form on a thank you page after people pay via paypal. since paypal uses postback variables in the thankyou page, vdaemon is assuming variables are being passed from another form.

ERROR: Page is accessed using POST method, but validators information isn't defined.

I am struggling with this error. The FORM has the required code (method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="form2" name="form2" runat="vdaemon"...) and both the form and processing pages have the include file [include("../../vdaemon/vdaemon.php");]
and the [<?php VDEnd(); ?>] code.

Orlov notes at http://forum.x-code.com/viewtopic.php?t=16 regarding this error:

"There is one uncertain situation: page accessed using POST method but "VDaemonValidators" is not defined...."

I have some form inputs that are user optional and others that are required. My question: do ALL <input> tags within the <FORM> need to have vdaemon validators to avoid the error above? (see note #below) Or is something else going on? I do not want to do the following: "define('VDAEMON_POST_SECURITY', false);" (as suggested in the link referenced above). I can imagine a number of workarounds if all input tags need validators but it would be good if the cause of the error was better understood and documented. Thanks.

# "All VDaemon's forms have "VDaemonValidators" variable. So, it was submitted non-VDaemon form or something wrong with your VDaemon form or this is "person with malicious intentions" tries to avoid validation by deleting "VDaemonValidators" variable. How VDaemon will behave in this situation depends on VDAEMON_POST_SECURITY configuration option (you can set it in the config.php file as usual)."
