POST and GET do not seem to pass the data

dmacman1962

I posted another question:

that I was so far off on a tangent, that I confused everyone answering.

I do not want to double post, and if a mod thinks I shoudl delete the first (I do) then I will.

Here is my issue.

I have a PHP form that has 3 items, in a dynamic table. I want to pass what items where selected and the quantities to my process.php page. I am trying to pass just the item ID and I can't seem to get even that working. Here is the code for the order.php page (which right now, I can only choose 1 item, then it deselects the previous items, I'll need to fix this later [also willing to take suggestions 🙂 ]:

  <input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
<p>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>

And on the process.php page I am just trying to display the ID (if I can get one working, then I believe I can get the rest working).

$_POST['ID']; 
print $ID;
$max=100;
while($ID != 0) { 
   $quantity = $_GET['Quantity'];  

   $ordered = $_GET['Ordered']; 
   for($i=1;$i<$max;$i++)  { 
      echo "Quantity: ".$i." Ordered: ".$ordered.$i; 
	  echo $i;
    } 
} 
echo " Thank you for your order. You will be contacted when the order is complete.";
?>
</body>
</html>

I admit that I am "grey" in this area. Someone suggest that I need a second form on the process page to pass the variable again, which I do not follow at all.

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Don

Haven't looked at the rest of your code, but the first thing I see is that you're using the "POST" method for your form, but you're trying to access the variables in your process.php script via "GET".

This:
$ID = $GET['ID'];
$POST['ID'];
print $ID;

Shoule be this:
$ID = $_POST['ID'];
print $ID;

I tried several techniques from other posts and changed the process.php to this:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>

<body>
<?
/* $ID = $_GET['ID'];
$_POST['ID']; 
print $ID;
$max=100;
while($ID != 0) { 
   $quantity = $_GET['Quantity'];  

   $ordered = $_GET['Ordered']; 
   for($i=1;$i<$max;$i++)  { 
      echo "Quantity: ".$i." Ordered: ".$ordered.$i; 
	  echo $i;
    } 
} 
*/
/*$id = $_POST['ID']; 
$k = 0; 
$j = 0; 
while($id != 0) 
{ 
   $quantity = $_POST['Quantity'];  

   $ordered = $_POST['Ordered']; 
   foreach ($quantity as $key=>$qty) { 
      echo "Quantity: ".$qty." Ordered: ".$ordered[$key]; 
    } 
}
*/
$id = $_GET['ID']; 
$k = 0; 
$j = 0; 
while($id != 0) 
{ 
    foreach($_GET['Quantity'] as $qty) 
    { 
        $quantity[$k] == $qty; 
        $k++; 
    } 
    foreach($_GET['Ordered'] as $ordrd) 
    { 
        $ordered[$j] == $ordrd; 
    } 

for($x=0; $x<=count($quantity); $x++) 
{ 
    echo "Quantity: ".$quantity[$x]." Ordered: ".$ordered[$x]; 
} 
}

echo "1: ".$id;
echo "<br>";
echo "2: ".$quantity;
echo "<br>";
echo "3: ".$ordered;
echo "<br>";
echo " Thank you for your order. You will be contacted when the order is complete.";
echo "<br>";
echo "The GET, shows this: ";
print_r($_GET);
echo "<br>";
echo "The POST, gives this: ";
print_r($_POST);
?>
</body>
</html>

And here is what is displayed

1:
2:
3:
Thank you for your order. You will be contacted when the order is complete.
The GET, shows this: Array ( )
The POST, gives this: Array ( [Quantity] => [Order] => Array ( [0] => Ordered.3 ) [ID] => [Ordered] => [Submit] => Submit )

The get sends nothing. And the POST tells me Ordered.3 was chosen. But I cannot seem to properly code the PHP to get the Ordered.3 item.

I hope this sheds some light and with everyone help, I can resolve this and maybe it will help someone else.

Thanks!!!
