Using the php_self is not working

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: <input type="Text" name="UIFName"><br>
Last name: <input type="Text" name="UILName"><br>
E-Mail: <input type="Text" name="UILogonID"><br>
Password: <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?

😕

Fishman just a friendly warning .... please dont corss post (post the same question in two forums) ... need to be patient and your post will be answered 🙂 ... Thanks

FishMan

Sorry?

fnbcprog

<form action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" and other info>

and in the if statement above use this:

i.e. if you are posting and not getting

if( $_POST['Submit'] )

FishMan

I now have:

if( $_POST['Submit'] ) {
echo "Yes I'm inside second if";

and

but I get the same thing; i.e. when I click the submit button I see the form with the fields cleared but I do not see the echo statement in the above "if" statment.

Does it make any difference if the "S" in submit is a capital letter?

FishMan

I placed the following code before the if statement:

while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
echo "$name = $value<br>\n";
}

When I first enter the page they do not show up at all. After I click the submit button I see the following:

UIFName =
UILName =
UILogonID =
UIPassword =
submit = CreateLogon

So, I seem to be coming into the page alright but I'm not entering the if statement. I don't understand why😕

Perhaps your version of PHP has yet to include superglobals? (4.1.0 onward.)

If this is the case, replace "$POST" and "$SERVER", with "$HTTP_POST_VARS" and "$HTTP_SERVER_VARS".

Good luck! 🙂

fnbcprog

try both the case sensitive variation and changing from superglobals to $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS

Simple: the name in your form is submit, not Submit. just make them the same case 🙂 Also you could possibly try if (isset($_POST['submit'])){...
