cant see data properly

[irishgirl2004]

this is an odd one, then posting from one php to another, i cant see the variables, but i can print them out, when i use the following lines...

while (list($name,$value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{

echo $name . "   "  . $value;

}
[code=php]

i can see everything, thats  fine, but, say i called a variable $company_name

i cant see it when i test for it, i.e.

[code=php]
if (!company_name)
{
    blah....;
}
[code=php]




this is very odd? cos it used to work, it've just transfered the exact same files to a new server............ please help if ya can.............


many thanks

sort of confusing...you are testing for 'not' do blah, and also you are missing the $ in front of company_name

if (!$company_name)   {
   blah....;   }

hi.....

its very odd, i have the $ on the variable name, but still it does not seems to recognize it????? but when i search through each one, they are there, i could assign them at the start of the script, but that seems a bit pointless?

Hi,
try to do it using isset() and empty()
functions:

if (!isset($company_name) || empty($company_name))
{
blah....;
} 
 

I hope this helps you...
