Frankly, I'm having a problem with the documentation and its lack of
examples. It seems that one is expected to tool through all of the
demo apps in order to figure out how the functions are used.
I'm trying to get the value of the current row of a table. The value
itself does not appear on the grid, rather, I want to take the value
of two fields and manipulate them in code. The 'trick' is to
I'm THINKING CCGetValue is the function to use but, again, in the help
file there is not a simple example to show me how I would use this.
Please tell me how I would use CCGetValue.

I just wanted to follow up. I do NOT want the field value(s) to
appear within the page's html, as a hidden field would. I want to
look up the unseen field values of the current row being generated.

What kind of problem are you having? I ask because CCGetValue is pretty
straightforward: supply the recordset/connection object, the name of a
column in that recordset - and it returns the value of it.
Obviously, you have to use it in a sensible context, such as the
BeforeShowRow event of a grid, so that you can be sure of what row in your
recordset it is pointing to.
I assume you are aware that you can have more columns in the recordset than
you are displaying on the grid, meaning the non-visible columns don't have
to be "hidden" in the grid. You can access either control values on the
form/page or dig into the underlying objects (i.e., the Recordset) and get
data from there. Are you only thinking in terms of accessing controls?
Only then, would I see you having an issue with hidden values, so I wonder
why you asked in that context.

First off, thanks for the reply.
But can you give me an example of the line of code using it (none
appears in the help / documentation)?
I'm having problem with understanding what the recordset/connection
object is, and I'd like to see an example.
I'm using "DBConnection1" elsewhere, and while I don't get an error,
I'm not getting any information back.
Here's MY example:
In the beforeshowrow event of a grid (per your suggestion) I've put
the following:
global $grd_features; //name of the grid
global $DBConnection1;
// where "Connection1" is the connection, but I've found out you
// have to put the "DB" in front, even though it's nowhere in the
// documentation.
echo "value = " . ccgetvalue($DBConnection1,"f_name");
Returns the appropriate number of "value = " but no data from "f_name"
I've put the above into a label within the grid with the same
non-results.
Again, a working example of ccgetvalue function syntax is requested as
it is absent in the documentation.

Well, what you have looks right (but I'm no PHP expert either).
Is PHP case-sensitive? I wasn't sure if that mattered. Maybe it should be
"CCGetValue"?
I'm not at a place where I can test it, but I'll try it this evening. I'll
let you know what I find out.

PHP is not case sensitive.
I have a feeling, (OPEN CALL TO PHP USERS OUT THERE!) that one needs
more than the $DBConnection1 - which defines only the connection
object, but not the recordset (to use the MS paragim).
I'm thinking that there is a "recordset" related specifically to the
form, but I'm at a loss as to how to refer to it.
All I need is an example...

Chip,
PHP IS case-sensitive. Only function names (and methods in classes) are case
insensitive. Variables (and properties) are case sensitive, as are most
string-related processes.
If you need to refer to your grid's "recordset" use:
$gridname->ds
You may need to create a global reference to it if you are coding an event.
eg:
global $gridname;
field_value=CCGetValue($gridname->ds,"fieldname");
Regards,
Sixto

You are correct sir (about both issues)!
You have solved many problems!
You have REALLY read that programmer's reference!
