I am having a bit of a problem writing to the database using a form for a league hosting application I am developing. It is located outside of my forums subfolder (however I don't think that has anything to do with it).

Anyway here is the code:

register.php:

PHP Code:

If anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated.

It would help if you told us what the problem was...

(P.S. use [php] and [/php] tags around your PHP code. )

Oneback · #3 12-23-2007, 11:38 AM

Well basically after messing around with it a little bit more when pressing submit all it does is redirects me to register.php?do=addleague without running any code. I know it's something simple that I am probably over looking.

At first I I thought maybe it wasn't picking up the data from the $_POST but now I believe it's not even running the code within if ($_POST['do'] == 'addleague').

Opserty · #4 12-23-2007, 12:51 PM

Underneath where you check if the form was submitted (if($_POST['do...) add this:

PHP Code:


			
echo 'Processing Begins';
var_dump($_POST);
die();

Run the script once and post the output here.

Oneback · #5 12-23-2007, 01:12 PM

I am not 100% sure I put it in the right location as I am fairly new at this but here is what I did:

PHP Code:


			
// ########## start add league ##########
if ($_POST['do'] == 'addleague')
{
    echo 'Processing Begins';
    var_dump($_POST);
    die();
}

All it did was bring me back to the same page, but instead of having http://localhost/leagues/register.php in the url it had http://localhost/leagues/register.php?do=addleague

Again thank you for any help you can provide.

Dead Eddie · #6 12-23-2007, 02:12 PM

If it's in the URL, it's in the GET superglobal, not the POST.

Excuse my ignorance but how exactly would I go about fixing that?

Thank you for your help.

Lynne · #8 12-23-2007, 03:15 PM

You use $POST_ when you are grabbing information from a form (person fills out a form - say a name - and you want to use that information on the next page) and you use $GET_ when you are you are getting the variable from the url (url/page.php$do=variable). So, try using $GET_['do'] or $REQUEST_['do'].

(I think I got that right, I do need more coffee this morning!)

Well I tried that and I still have the same problem.

Here is what I've got:

League Register template:

PHP Code:


			
<form action="register.php?do=addleague" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="addleague" />

// League Registration Form

</form>

register.php:

PHP Code:


			
if ($_GET['do'] == 'addleague')

{

    echo 'Processing Begins';

    var_dump($_POST);

    die();

}

Opserty · #10 12-23-2007, 10:03 PM

remove the "do=addleague" from the action="..." in your form.

In register.php change $_GET['do'] to $_REQUEST['do'].

Run the code, you should be getting some output because your only send data from one page to another.
