form variables

[jpr]

Is there some reason why form variables might not be getting passed through on certain hosts? On some hosts I have been having a problem even with a simple little script like this. Everytime the form is submited, it goes right back to the form. It should go to the part //do stuff.

if ($formsubmit != "yes") {
<form action="samepage.php" method="post">
<input type="test" name="var2">
<input type="hidden" name="formsubmit" value="yes">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
} else
//do stuff
}

You have to check REGISTER_GLOBALS parameter in php.ini. It is probably set to off. Then the values are not passed directly into the variables, and are accessible only in $REQUEST or $POST or $_GET global arrays.

could you show me an example of how i would do that 2 mehtod you were talking about. Like if REGISTER GLOBALS is turned off, how could I access the $formsubmit variable?

Thankyou

Of course.

$formsubmit = $_REQUEST['formsubmit']

or just

if ( $_REQUEST['formsubmit'] != 'yes' )

$REQUEST is created as a combination of $POST and $_GET .... whose are filled depending on the method how the data were transfered.
