form handling problem

[sabret00the]

the problem lies around this isset not working properly, i've tried to weeks to figure it out to no luck

PHP Code:

//    this conditional handles the confessing
 // guest handling
             if ('confess' && $confession_submit && trim($message) != '' && $bbuserinfo[userid] >= 0) 
             { 
 
                 if (isset($nousername)) //code won't work
                 {
                     $conf_userid = "NULL";
                 }
                 else
                 {
                     $conf_userid = "$bbuserinfo[userid]";
                 } //end annoying code that won't work
 
                 if ((time() - $check[timestamp]) <= 15)
                 {
                     eval("standarderror(\"".fetch_template("confession_error_flood")."\");");
                 }
                     $DB_site->query("
                         INSERT INTO confessions SET
                         text  = '".addslashes($message)."',
                         userid = '$conf_userid',
                         timestamp   = '".time()."'
                     ");
                     $url = "../confessions/";
                     eval(print_standard_redirect("confess_thanks"));
             }
             else
             {
                 $url = "../confessions/";
                 eval(print_standard_redirect("confess_error"));
             }

erm

PHP Code:

if ('confess' 


that part is pretty useless, are you sure, there shouldn't be a variable which is set as 'confess' ?

[sabret00the]

nah confess is the name of the form

[Xenon]

but why is it in the if condition?

make it a comment instead

also, just replace the isset with:

PHP Code:

$nousername == '') 


if you globalize a veriable, it will be set by the globalize function, so isset won'T work there

[sabret00the]

i put the confess in the condition to make sure that data was only coming from the designated form.

[sabret00the]

and the $nousername thing still aint working

    <tr>
      <td class="alt1" align="center">
		<input name="username" type="checkbox" value="nousername" checked> Post Anonymously
      </td>
    </tr>

that's the bit of the form that sends the data to have the username on or off but it's just refusing to work.

well it'S useless, as if you replace that in the condition with rue, ist has the same effect, as a plain string is always evaluated as true

well, then i don't know more, the '' check should work.

[sabret00the]

ok, i'll remove it

and i dunno what to do with the $nousername thing, i've tried everything

help someone :nervous:

[Xenon]

erm, i found out ^^

your variable is called $username, but when it's checked, it's value is 'nousername' ^^

[sabret00the]

wow thanks xenon, i'll try it out now
