[Resolved] Can not post a form - getting crazy.

cergun

Hi I have been trying to post a form to a php page.

The original one with mysql did not work so I created a simple one with just php. It is not working either. I have been messing with it for hours. I checked all the documents I have nothing seems to be wrong...

Any help willl be appreciated.

Here are the two pages:
test3.php

<html>
<head>
<title>-----ADD----- </title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="test4.php" method="POST">
<p><b>Enter new info:</b><br />

<p><b>Enter Ndd:</b>
<input type="text" name="ndd" size="10"><br /><br />

<p><b>Enter ssd:</b>
<input type="text" name="ssd" size="10"><br /><br />

</body>
</html>

And test4.php

<?php
print $ndd;
echo"Your ndd is <b>$ndd</b><br>";
echo $ndd;
echo '<br>';
echo 'test';
echo '<br>';
print $ssd;
?>

<p><a href="test3.php">Go to test3 again</a></p>
</body>
</html>

What is wrong with these ?????????

cosminb

in your php.ini check if register_globals is off
also check if your web server alows the POST method.

or, instead off

print $ndd;

try

echo $_POST['ndd'];

lanjoky


<?php 
print $_POST['ndd']; 
echo"Your ndd is <b>$_POST['ndd']</b><br>"; 
echo $_POST['ndd']; 
echo '<br>'; 
echo 'test'; 
echo '<br>'; 
print $_POST['ssd']; 
?>

change ur code in the second page to look like this.

Dear cosminb and lanjoky thank you for your answers. It solved the problem I posted. I checked my PHP file and it says that it is not recommended to set globals "on"

So I decided to use $_POST['ndd']...

Thanks again.

I was using the form to insert information to MySql database, but I could not manage it.

I think it is something about -"-s or- '-
here it is:

$sql = "INSERT INTO pipe SET

pipe_model_no='$POST["model_no"]',
pipe_series='$POST["series"]',
pipe_model='$POST["model"]',
pipe_size='$POST["size"]',
pipe_updating_person='$POST["updating_person"]',
pipe_updating_date='$POST["updating_date"]'";

Thanks in advance.

PS: I think I made a right decision by selecting PHP instead of ASP.

God bless all of you.
