using php_self

[FishMan]

I have the following code:

if ($submit) {
// process form
echo "Yes I'm inside second if";
} else{
// display form
?>
<form name='RegistrationForm' method='post' action='<?php $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?>' >

First name:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="Text" name="UIFName"><br>
Last name:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="Text" name="UILName"><br>
E-Mail:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="Text" name="UILogonID"><br>
Password:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="Text" name="UIPassword"><br>
<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Create Logon">
</form>
<?php
} // end if
?>

I believe that once I click on the submit button I should come back into this page and enter the "if ($submit)" statement. However, this does not seem to happen. When I click on the button the fields are cleared and displayed but the echo in the "if($submit)" statement is never shown.

Any ideas on what is going wrong?

<form name='RegistrationForm' method='post' action='<?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?>' >

Try that in place of what you have for your form tag

Hope that works

Thanks for answering my email.

I made the change; the initial tag on the form now looks like this:

<form name='RegistrationForm' method='post' action='<?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?>' >

but I still don't see the echo statment in that "if($submit) " statment when I click the button. Any ideas? Am I using the 'if' correctly? Perhaps I'm coming back into the page but the "if(submit)" is not being correctly interpreted?

When you hit submit do you see your form again?

[FishMan]

Yes, I see the form and the fields are cleared. However, I don't see the statments in the top "if($submit)" statment

[lanjoky]

sorry I didnt catch this before but for your if statement you need

if ($_POST['submit'])

that should make it work

Thanks. The $_POST['submit']) seems to be working😃

Thanks again.
