Undefined Index when using Form variables

bubberz

I've got a page a user sees if they're a new user. They enter an email and password.

If the "Check New Username" behavior allows the entry to continue, the new user will enter more information about themselves.

I'm trying to use the Email and password for the first two text fields in the next form via Bindings / Form Variable, but get the following for both these fields:

Undefined index: Email in <b>C:\htdocs\NewSubInfo.php

The HTML is:

value="<?php echo $_POST['Email']; ?>"

This should be pretty simple, but I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

Array indices are case sensitive, so make sure that in the original script, it's Email, and not email.

Thanks SargeZT!

I've checked to make sure the spelling is correct.

For the button click on the first page, here's the code that's called to decide which page to go to next:

$editFormAction = $SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

if ((isset($POST["MM_insert"])) && ($POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO main (Email, Password) VALUES (%s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($POST['Email'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($POST['password'], "text"));

mysql_select_db($database_connLE, $connLE);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $connLE) or die(mysql_error());

$insertGoTo = "NewSubInfo.php";
if (isset($SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$insertGoTo .= $SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
}

What's odd is if I take the <?php echo $editFormAction; ?> action out of the form and put in NewSubInfo.php (keep the method to Post), the two fields on the next page are in fact populated w/o errors.

Any chance of you being able to post some of the form itself? I'm not seeing anything wrong with the script on this end, and it makes me believe that it's probably on the form end.

Also, when t gives you the 'Undefined Index' error, could you give us a print_r($_POST)?

if the html you posted is the actual html then i think your problem is the syntax.
you wrote:

value="<?php echo $_POST['Email']; ?>"

where i think it should be:

value="<?=$_POST['Email']?>"

hope that helps

=EDIT=
just had another think and i reckon your code is correct, its just a different method.
whenever i add php within the html i tend to use <?=$variable?> for single variables. but
<?php
//code here
?>
for chunks of code.
sorry for the post teehee.

as for your problem id say we need the html code as SargeZT requested

Got it with:

On the first page:
$insertGoTo = 'NewSubInfo.php?Email='.$_POST['Email'];

Then in NewSubInfo.php use:
value="<?php echo $_GET['Email']; ?>"
