Using Echo

kpowning

Can anyone help me. I can't seem to get my script to call the "echo" statement on a blank page, once the form is submitted. It wants to show the "Echo" on the same page with the form. What did I do wrong. Below is a copy of my script: Please help me. I would greatly appreciate it...🙁

<?php require_once('../Connections/EMALL.php'); ?>
<?php 
if ($REQUEST_METHOD=='POST') {
echo "An email has been sent.";}
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  $theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    

    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}

if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['EmailAddress'])) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['EmailAddress'] != "")) {
  $deleteSQL = sprintf("DELETE FROM Emailcollector WHERE `Email Address`=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['EmailAddress'], "text"));

  mysql_select_db($database_EMALL, $EMALL);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($deleteSQL, $EMALL) or die(mysql_error());
}
?>

I have never used $REQUEST_METHOD.
I use

if (!$submit){     // Form }  else { //Process }

lukemedway

if ($_POST['Submit']) {

Also make sure that you are submitting your form in the right place... in you case... $PHP_SELF;

stolzyboy

try the isset function

<?
if isset($submit)
{

}
else
{

}
?>
