Post issues

Hi,
I've currently got the following code:

PHP Code:

---

        echo "<form name=\"AdminStuff\" action=\"newPost.php\" method=\"POST\">\n";
        echo "<div class=\"hr\"> <hr /> </div>\n";
        echo "<h1>" . $heading . "</h1>\n";
        echo "<p>" . $content . "</p>\n";
        echo "<span class=\"postinfo\"> Posted by " . $poster . " on " . $date . "\n";

        echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"heading\" value=\"$heading\">\n";
        echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"content\" value=\"$content\">\n";
        echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postID\" value=\"$postID\">\n";
        echo "  &nbsp;&nbsp;[ <a href=\"newPost.php\" onClick=\"AdminStuff.submit(); return false;\">Edit</a>\n";
        echo " | <a href=\"removePost.php\" onClick=\"AdminStuff.submit(); return false;\">Remove</a> ]\n";
        echo "</span>\n";        
        echo "</form>\n";

Right now, this generates the HTML as expected.. with the three hidden fields with the right information.
However, in newPost.php, the $_POST array is empty.

The code for newPost.php is as follows:

PHP Code:

---

        echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"generatePost.php\" action=\"POST\">";
        echo "<textarea name=\"heading\" cols=\"40\" rows=\"1\">";
        echo $_POST['heading'];
        echo "</textarea><br>";
        echo "<textarea name=\"body\" cols=\"40\" rows=\"5\">";
        echo $_POST['content'];
        echo "</textarea><br>";
        echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" />";
        echo "<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"" . $_POST['postID'] . "\">";
        echo "</form>";

Any ideas? If there's any easier way, please let me know. I need the link to be a hyperlink, and to send the data with POST (not GET).

Thanks

Hi,

Try putting both the html and the php in the one file and see if that helps!

you do not need to do what Nightwalker83 suggested.

you're technically submitting your form via a link, and so if your browser is just going to newPost.php instead of submitting to it, this would be your problem. just use a submit button.

HTML Code:

---

<input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit" />
<input type="submit" name="remove" value="Remove" />

---

you could check if $_POST['edit'] or $_POST['remove'] exist and then either edit or remove the post accordingly.

double post an hour later, somehow. whoops. delete this?
