[RESOLVED] $_POST is null?

[sveegaard]

Hi,

If i try to post a form (which is placed on two different pages with the same action-page), the strings return null in IE but not in Firefox.

Do you know why?

Page a:

<form name='form2' method='post' action='addlog.php'>
  <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
    <tr> 
      <td align='center' width='33%'>Dato</td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'>Aktivitet</td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'>Varighed (timer)</td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td align='center'><input name='dato' type='textfield' size='22' value='<?php echo "".$date_array['mday']."/".$date_array['mon']."-".$date_array['year'].""; ?>'></td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'><input name='aktivitet' type='textfield' size='22'></td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'><input name='varighed' type='textfield' size='22'></td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td colspan='3' align='right'><input type='submit' name='Submit2' value='Tilf&oslash;j'></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <p align='right'>&nbsp; </p>
</form>

Page b:

<form name='form2' method='post' action='addlog.php'>
  <table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
    <tr> 
      <td align='center' width='33%'>Dato</td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'>Aktivitet</td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'>Varighed (timer)</td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td align='center'><input name='dato' type='text' size='22' value='<?php echo "".$date_array['mday']."/".$date_array['mon']."-".$date_array['year'].""; ?>'></td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'><input name='aktivitet' type='text' size='22'></td>
      <td width='33%' align='center'><input name='varighed' type='text' size='22'></td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td colspan='3' align='right'><input type='submit' name='Submit2' value='Tilf&oslash;j'></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <p align='right'>&nbsp; </p>
</form>

processing page:

<?php
include('isuser.php');
include('config.php');
// connect to the mysql database server.
mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbusername, $dbuserpass);
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Cannot select database");

$tdato = $_POST["dato"];
$taktivitet = $_POST["aktivitet"];
$tvarighed = $_POST["varighed"];
$username = $_SESSION["s_username"];

if(!isset($tdato)|!isset($taktivitet)|!isset($tvarighed)) {
echo "
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
        alert('Du har ikke udfyldt alle felter!');
        top.location.replace('logbog.php');
</script>
<noscript>
<META HTTP-EQUIV='REFRESH' CONTENT='0;logbog.php'>
</noscript>";
}else{
$query="INSERT INTO $username (`dato` , `aktivitet` , `varighed` )
VALUES ('$tdato', '$taktivitet', '$tvarighed')";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV='REFRESH' CONTENT='0;logbog.php'>";
}
?>

type="textfield" doesn't exist. You need to use type="text"

[sveegaard]

I have tried that

[penagate]

You're all backwards. Use single quotes for strings in PHP and double quotes for attributes in HTML.

And why do you give the form a name? (I honestly don't know what that does)

[sveegaard]

Gee, penagate...didn't think that worked...
It works like a charm right now - thanks!
