I am trying to pass the variable 'email' from the 'signup' method in my view to the 'character' method. However,
request.args.get('email')
is saving NULL into the database. I cannot figure out why.
Here is what shows up after passing the 'email' variable to '/character':
http://127.0.0.1:5000/character?email=test%40test.com
Here is my code in 'views.py':
@app.route('/signup', methods=['GET','POST'])
def signup():
if request.method == 'GET':
return render_template('signup.html')
email = request.form['email']
return redirect(url_for('character', email=email))
@app.route('/character', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def character():
if request.method == 'GET':
return render_template('character.html')
email = request.args.get('email')
password = request.form['password']
name = request.form['username']
temp = model.Actor(request.form['gender'], request.form['height'], request.form['weight'], request.form['physique'])
user = model.User(name, email, password, temp)
db.session.add(temp)
db.session.add(user)
db.session.commit()
return redirect(url_for('movies'))
Everything else works just fine, it is just that 'email' is not being saved as '[email protected]' and instead as NULL.
Thank you for your help ahead of time!
EDIT: Solved using sessions in Flask.

When you submit your signup form, you're using POST. Because you're using POST, your form values are added to request.form, not request.args.
Your email address will be in:
request.form.get('email')
If you were hitting the URL /[email protected], and you weren't rendering a template immediately with:
if request.method == 'GET':
return render_template('character.html')
in your characters view, only then would you be able to access:
request.args.get('email')
Check out the werkzeug request / response docs for more info.
Edit: Here's a full working example (minus your models stuff)
app.py
from flask import request, Flask, render_template, redirect, url_for
app = Flask(__name__)
app.debug = True
@app.route('/signup', methods=['GET','POST'])
def signup():
if request.method == 'GET':
return render_template('signup.html')
email = request.form['email']
return redirect(url_for('character', email=email))
@app.route('/character', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def character():
email_from_form = request.form.get('email')
email_from_args = request.args.get('email')
return render_template('character.html',
email_from_form=email_from_form,
email_from_args=email_from_args)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
templates/signup.html
<html>
Email from form: {{ email_from_form }} <br>
Email from args: {{ email_from_args }}
</html>
templates/character.html
<html>
<form name="test" action="/character" method="post">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" value="[email protected]" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</html>
Submitting the signin form (via POST) will populate Email from form
Hitting the url http://localhost:5000/[email protected] (via GET) will populate Email from args
