    Hi..

    You have to edit view-functions.php and post_functions.php to do that. I assume you will display element_1 input on form 1 success message.

    1. post_functions.php add to line 948

    //retrieve the data from element
if ($key == 'element_1' && $form_id == '1') {
	$_SESSION['form_element_data'] = $value;
}

    2. view_functions.php edit line 2243

    from 

    <h2>{$form->success_message}</h2>

    to

    <h2>{$form->success_message}<hr />YOUR INPUT {$_SESSION['form_element_data']}</h2>

    Well almost the solution.. :) But i want to display the entry number of the form ...not element or input details.... which is the form data.....can u help me out with that...

    the entry number is the form entry number that is recorded in the backend entries ... when a form is submitted.

    I see, you want to get id number of your data in database. So you can ignore the first modification (post_functions.php line 948) and insert this following code below line 1013 in post_functions.php

    //retrieve the id from last inserted data
if ($form_id == '1') {
   $_SESSION['form_element_data'] = $record_insert_id;
}

    i did the above and and it works in firefox, it does not work on IE7, even when the site is added to trusted sites and forced to take all cookies.

    I am using this to allow a link to bookmark your form details

    added to view-functions 2065-
    a href="/view_entry.php?form_id=1&id={$_SESSION['form_element_data']}">bookmark form results</a

    bsimpson -- what didn't work?

    displaying the link itself or clicking the "bookmark form result" link?

    the link displays (as it is manually added to the view functions file) but the id does not display
    the link reads "a href="/view_entry.php?form_id=1&id=">bookmark form results</a "

    where it is just blank or it will print
    id=&PHPSESSID=b6dc60fc986d4e0c00498bc732dfd8f6

    after some more experimenting, it works fine if i use the link
    /view.php?id=1
    to view the form, but if i use the php embed method it does not work on IE 6/7

    ahh.. so you are using php embed code?

    if so, on the page where you embed the php code, insert this line:

    <?php session_start(); ?>

    It should be placed at the very top of your page (line 1).
