[RESOLVED] $_POST['services'] problem please help

helloise

i have my code:

<h2>Services List</h2>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo link_to('New Service','adminservice/new','class=link_medium'); ?>" >

<table class='tbl_admin' width='900px' >
  <thead>
    <tr>

  <th align='left'>Name</th>
  <th align='left'>Event Url</th>
  <th  align='left'>Wap home</th>

  <th  align='left'>Catcher</th>
   <th  align='left'>Publish History</th>
  <th  align='left'>Logo</th>
</tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>

<?php foreach ($LpmServices as $LpmService): ?>
<tr>
  <td  align='left'>&nbsp;<a href="<?php echo url_for('adminservice/edit?id='.$LpmService->getId()) ?>"><?php echo $LpmService->getName() ?></a></td>
  <td  align='left'>&nbsp;<a href="<?php echo url_for('serviceurl/list?service='.$LpmService->getId()) ?>">Url(s)</a></td>
  [COLOR="Red"]<input type="hidden" name="services[]" value="<?php echo $LpmService->getName();?>"/>[/COLOR]
  <td  align='left'>&nbsp;<?php echo $LpmService->getWapHome() ?></td>

  <td  align='left'>&nbsp;<?php echo $LpmService->getLpmCatcher() ?></td>
  <td  align='left'>&nbsp;<?php echo link_to('Publish History','publishlookup/list?service='.$LpmService->getId()); ?></td>

  <td  align='left'>&nbsp;<img src='<?php echo $LpmService->getLogo() ?>' class='img_artwork_limit_small'/></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>

then one i clicked on on of the services i go to form.php where i have:

  $input= $_POST['services'];
              print_r($input);

but i get error on that form:
Notice: Undefined index: services in /home/helloises/svn_wappool/apps/lpmanager/modules/adminservice/templates/_form.php on line 121

whatever service i selected on i just want to put in $POST['services']; and be able to access it on the next form.php

please help?
thanks

its $_GET not post as you are using links with the data in the url, i don't see what the form is doing, there are no form inputs in the code.

helloise

there are no inputs, its a list of services and each service is a link that u can click on which will take you to a next form and display more info about that selected service 🙂 i just want to pass on to the next form the value of the one that was clicked on 🙂 but as my code stands now it is not working

thanks

dagon

the answer is still $GET not $POST and the form should not even be there

helloise

i changed it to $GET in form.php thus have now:
$input= $_GET['services'];
print_r($input);

but what do you mean by the form shouldnt even be there???

what else needs to be changed??
thank you

What dagon means is that you are passing the data through $_GET using URL links, so there is no need to wrap it all in a form, the links will still work without the <form> tags around them.

dagon

what do you think this line is for:

<form method="post" action="<?php echo link_to('New Service','adminservice/new','class=link_medium'); ?>" >

helloise

thanks i am new to all this and usually read on w3schools but its not enough...where can i read more or get more advanced info/tutorial please?
w3schools just says a form tag is used to pass data to the server 🙁
so i can take the form tag away and just have my php code with the link????
<?php echo link_to('New Service','adminservice/new','class=link_medium'); ?>

and when is the "method=post" necessary??

thanks
