[RESOLVED] Form Processing - Using Enter Key

obrienkev

Hi all,

I have a form with a submit button.

At the moment pressing Enter on the keyboard rather than using the mouse to hit submit button doesnt process the form data.

Why is this?

Here's my submit button...
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" class="btn" value="Continue" />

Then I process data if form submitted like this...

// submit button
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

// if form submitted
if(isset($submit))
{...

Is this correct?

Thanks.

Add another input control.
Use a hidden input control (which is effective #1).

Can you give an example of a hidden input control please?

Thanks.

Hi-
I am new to PHP and wonder if anyone can show me a simple script to post form data from one page to another.

Thanks,

You have an HTML form and it will have a name and value for each field such as First Name Last Name etcetera as shown below in the HTML form;

<html>
<body>
<form name='myform' method='post' action='some.php'>
<input type='text' name='first_name' >First Name<br />
<input type='text' name='last_name'>Last Name<br />
<input type='text' name='blah'>Blah<br />
<input type='submit' value='Enter Data'>
</form>
</body>

Then pass it to the some.php with the values that were entered into the form with the following code;

<?php 
echo $_POST['first_name']."<br />";
echo $_POST['last_name']."<br />";
echo $_POST['blah']."<br />";
echo "That is all there is to passing the variables!";
 ?>

Using hidden field works...

<input type="hidden" name="submit">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
