Post data not working in IE but does in Firefox

aewarnick

print $POST["imPost"]."- post data"; //nothing in IE
if($POST["imPost"] != "")
{
//does not get here in IE
exit();
}print "here - problem in IE";

//The FORM:
<form method="post" action="<?print MakeHtmlPath(FILE);?>">
<input type="image" src="<?=$thumbdir."/".$images[$k][0]?>" name="imPost" value="<?=CutDir($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/'.$images[$k][0];?>">
</form>

You should look at the html code your php-script outputs. I'm pretty sure this happens because of wrong HTML code. Php does not care about browsers.

I did a little fixing up:

<form method="post" action="<?=MakeHtmlPath(FILE);?>">
<input type="image" src="<?=$thumbdir.'/'.$images[$k][0];?>" name="imPost" value="<?=CutDir($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/'.$images[$k][0];?>">
</form>

But when I test output the lines like:

<?=MakeHtmlPath(FILE);?>

I don't see anything wrong. And I tested all of them. Heeeellllp!

Update:

When I change
<input type="image"
to
<input type="submit"
it works. But then I have no images shown.

Why does that work?
How can I not use a button and use a clickable image instead?

the "image" input-type was originally there to submit coordinates e.g. for server-side image maps. it's more a kind of abuse to use it as a button g. Anyway, i think you just want to check if someone submitted your form, right? Then use ...

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { ... }

Uhm, that's actually another topic than PHP, but here you go...

Nothing happens:
<form name="imForm" method="post" action="<?echo MakeHtmlPath(FILE);?>">
<a href="javascript:document.imForm.submit()"><img src="<?echo $thumbdir.'/'.$images[$k][0];?>" border="0"></a>
<input type="hidden" name="imPost" value="<?echo CutDir($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/'.$images[$k][0];?>">
</form>

Firefox javascript cosole error:
document.imForm.submit() is not a function

yes, but that's really not a php related problem. a good advice: write your html / javascript without any php tags in it first. then check if the html-document works and displays properly in your browser (without javascript errors) and THEN insert your PHP code.

This worked:
javascript:document.forms['imForm'].submit()
