The reason you need to do this is that your data could have characters which will confuse WebCatalog; it matters not one whit thatyou are passing form variables.For example, just assume that one of the fields contains an ampersand;this will immediately break the rest of the append. I would suggest taking things slowly and break it down to one field at a time. Justadd one field and make sure it worked. Note that fieldnames like [Date] are a bad idea, because that conflictswith existing WebCat contexts. I don't know if you will have problemswith [referrer] and [grandtotal], but it is always a good idea to makeall of your variables something other than built-in WebCat fields.

You have to wrap each field that could have non-printable characters in[url].
