undefined defined variable

[crouchl]

Okay, I've got a form sitting on chatForm.php and I've got its action set to insertMessage.php and its method set to "post" The submit button tag is: <input type="submit" name="Send" value="Send">

In insertMessage.php I have:

if ($Send == "Send"){

But it gives me an undefined variable on that $Send check.

TIA

Mhhh, try to write:

if ($Send) {your code}

Got the same error.

I have also tried using

$HTTP_POST_VARS[Send]

as the variable to check, but no luck.

I also took out this If check just to see if any of the other form variables got carried over, and none of them did. so it's something about the variables not being accessible by the second php page.

use this:

$send=$_GET["send"];

if ($send){
}

it has something to do with turning registerglobals on, or something like that... I had the same problem

edit i change something in code.

euhm i'm doubting what it is now :o
I don't know which one... if the variable is in the URL I use $GET[""]
if it is a variable that comes from a form I use $POST[""]

but the Send comes from a button so i'm not sure wich one to use :o

or it is:

$Send=$_GET["Send"];
if ($Send){   }

or it is:

$Send=$_POST["Send"];
if ($Send){   }

try them both I would way 🙂

I got it by using the _GET global array to access the variable (I changed the form method to get). I have a suspicion that phpMyAdmin changes php_track_vars while it is running?

In any case, submit buttons are handled exactly the same as other variables in the form, just the browser knows that an input with type submit does the action when it gets clicked.

ok, glad you got it 🙂

and i have learned something too 🙂

but i don't like phpadmin, cause it doesn't work with my, I never see my databases 🙁, i rather use MyCC but some sites don't give there server so I can't use MyCC... but that's something else lol; nm that
