set $_POST value never exists even when entered

ppowell

			Other: <input name="school_type_other" size="30" maxlength="75" value="<?php

	if ($_POST['hasReviewedApplicant']) echo $_POST['school_type_other']; else echo str_replace('"', '&quot;', str_replace('\\', '', $result[0]->school_type_other));

?>">

I verified via both var_dump() and print_r() that $POST['hasReviewedApplicant'] = 1 and that $POST['school_type_other'] = null, even when you enter something into the text field, it's still null!

Can someone tell me what on earth I did wrong this time? I'm lost here!

Thanx

How come is null?

Lets strip your code ...

You have this input in a form, you write something in that input:

<input name="school_type_other" size="30" maxlength="75" value="" />

After u submit your form, and u print_r() the $POST array it returns $POST['school_type_other'] = null?

Or the value from your input:

if ($_POST['hasReviewedApplicant']) echo $_POST['school_type_other']; else echo str_replace('"', '&quot;', str_replace('', '', $result[0]->school_type_other));

is null?

And what is this code good for?

str_replace('', '', $result[0]->school_type_other)
