unable to access $_POST variables

bliss322 · Oct 26, 2004

using oscommerce, got a situation where the $_POST variables are empty. $HTTP_POST_VARS isn't picking up the form info. i've been testing for the manufacturers name (<input type="text" name="manufacturers_name">) the form method is post. i'm at a loss.

suggestions?

<form name="manufacturers" action="http://mysite.com/admin/manufacturers.php?page=1&mID=9&action=save" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td class="infoBoxContent">Please make any necessary changes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="infoBoxContent"><br>Manufacturers Name:<br><input type="text" name="manufacturers_name"></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td class="infoBoxContent"><br>Manufacturers Image:<br><input type="file" name="manufacturers_image"><br></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="infoBoxContent"><br>Manufacturers URL:<br><img src="/dmswax/includes/languages/english/images/icon.gif" border="0" alt="English" title=" English "> <input type="text" name="manufacturers_url[1]"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

case 'save':
        if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['mID'])) $manufacturers_id = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_GET_VARS['mID']);
        $manufacturers_name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['manufacturers_name']);

//this is where i check to see if $manufacturers_name has value. it never does.  i've tried $_POST["manufacturers_name"], to no avail, and i've tried to echo the $manufacturers_id (above) and that DOES show value.
echo "id ".$manufacturers_id." this is a test -> ".$manufacturers_name;

what does tep_db_prepare_input() do? anyway, it sound vaguely like your code expects register_globals to be ON and it is OFF. check your php.ini file.
