[RESOLVED] Forms dont sent data

Deathmanlp

Hi there 🙂
3 days ago everything was fine and I used forms and they worked properly but now every form I create is not sending data to PHP

<form action="form.php" method="get" >
<input type="text" id="data" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

<?php
$data = filter_input (INPUT_GET, "data");
print "$data";
?>

I think it's ok but it's not working.
Sorry for my bad english

What is INPUT_GET? Where does it get defined? (Perhaps it should be $_GET ?)

The filter_input() function filters gets input from outside the script and filters it.

This function is used to validate variables form insecure sources such as user input.

This function can get input from several sources:
* INPUT_GET
* INPUT_POST
* INPUT_COOKIE
* INPUT_ENV
* INPUT_SERVER
* INPUT_SESSION (Not yet implemented)
* INPUT_REQUEST (Not yet implemented)[/QUOTE]
I tried to change it to $_GET but I get an error

Try

<?php
$data = $_GET["data"];
print "$data";
?>

or simply use

<?php
echo $_GET['data'];
?>

Any difference if you add name="data" to your <input> tag?

Yes it works 🙂. I thought id and name are the same but looks like they are not.
