GET and POST Variables

slevytam

Hello everyone,

I could really use some help with this.

I have a php page that I open like this:

http://www.something.com/upload.php?imageName=testimage

The page has a form that looks like this:
<FORM action="upload.php" encType="multipart/form-data" method="post" name="sendform">
<INPUT name=MAX_FILE_SIZE type=hidden value=200000>
<INPUT maxLength=128 name=image type=file ACCEPT="image/jpg">
<INPUT name=Submit type=submit value=Submit>
<INPUT name=Reset type=reset value=Reset>
</FORM>

So, the form posts to itself. The problem is that I can't get the imageName to use server side. ie after the post imageName is lost.

Please help,

does your php.ini say "register_globals=off" ? if so, this doesn't werk 😃 try setting them to 'on', a little security risk can't be bad, i say 😃

No, Unfortunately this is set to on.

I just don't understand why I lose the variable once I click post on the form. Neither do I understand how to fix this.

Thanks,

No, dont turn the register_globals on. Just put this in the form:

<?php
if ($_GET['imageName'])
$imageName=$_GET['imageName'];
else
$imageName=$_POST['imageName'];
?>
<FORM action="upload.php" encType="multipart/form-data" method="post" name="sendform"> 
<input type="hidden" name="imageName" value="<?=$imageName;?>">
<INPUT name=MAX_FILE_SIZE type=hidden value=200000> 
<INPUT maxLength=128 name=image type=file ACCEPT="image/jpg"> 
<INPUT name=Submit type=submit value=Submit> 
<INPUT name=Reset type=reset value=Reset> 
</FORM>

Theres the if sentence because first when u get to the site its in get method. When u submit the form its in post method.
You could also put the $imageName in the action so you wouldnt have to use that if.

<FORM action="upload.php?imageName=<?=$_GET['imageName'];?>" encType="multipart/form-data" method="post" name="sendform">

PS. I read your answer after I posted this. This script still works for you
