PHP - Hidden Form & _post

Hi All,

I am having a bit of difficulty with a form I've built that has some PHP elements in it. The issue is it is just not sending the values (which are in hidden fields).

Code is:

Code: [Select]
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

echo '<tr style="padding: 15px;">';
echo '<td>' . $row['product_id'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['name'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['catalogue_id'] . '</td>';
                         ?>           
<td>
            <form method="post"  enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo str_replace( '%7E', '~', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>">
            <!--Hidden Field Checks to see if form has already been sent-->
<input type="hidden" name="editform" value="Y">
            <!--Hidden Fields for Edit Job-->
<input type="hidden" name="prodid" value="<?php echo $row['product_id'] ?>">           
            <input type="hidden" name="prodname" value="<?php echo $row['name'] ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="catalogue_id" value="<?php echo $row['catalogue_id'] ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="full_description" value="<?php echo $row['full_description'] ?>">   
            <input type="submit" name="Edit" value="<?php _e('Edit', 'pmimp_trdom' ) ?>" />
            </form>
            </td>

Would it have something to do with splitting up the php tags?
Any help would be apprecited!

Thanks!

Hi there I'm trying to make this form submit...but alas, is to no avail .... i have two forms on top of each other one of them is:

Code: [Select]
<form name="entries_form" method="post" action="index.php">
        <table>
    <tr>
<th><label>Date</label></th>
<th><label>From</label></th>
<th><label>To</label></th>
<th><label>Break</label></th>
<th><label>Hours</label></th>
<th><label>Required Hours</label></th>
<th><label>Notes</label></th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
<td>
   
    <input name="Date" type="text" id="Date" />
</td>
<td>
   
<input name="From" type="text" id="From" />
</td>
<td>
    <input name="To" type="text" id="To" />
</td>
<td>
   
    <input name="Break" type="text" id="Break" />
</td>
<td>
   
    <input name="Hours" type="text" id="Hours" />
</td>
<td>
   
    <input name="Rqrd_hrs" type="text" id="Rqrd_hrs" />
</td>
<td>
   
    <input name="Notes" type="text" id="Notes" />
</td>
<td>
    <input type="submit" name="Save" value="Save" id="Save" style="background-color:#7A70A4;" />
</td>
    </tr>
</table>
    </form>
to post i'm using this code (to much over the top maybe):
Code: [Select]
<?php

$session = new Session();
$u_id = $session->get('id'); //to get the user id from session

 if(isset($_POST['submit']) == 'Save'){//form's button  name is Save
$entry->user_id = $user_id = $u_id;
        $entry->date = $date = trim(strtolower($_POST['Date']));
        $entry->start_time = $start_time = trim(strtolower($_POST['From']));
        $entry->end_time   = $end_time   = trim(strtolower($_POST['To']));
$entry->breaks      = $break   = trim(strtolower($_POST['Break']));
$entry->total_hours   = $total_hours   = trim(strtolower($_POST['Hours']));
$entry->reqd_hours   = $required_hours   = trim(strtolower($_POST['Rqrd_hrs']));
$entry->notes   = $notes   = trim(strtolower($_POST['Notes'])); 
   
        $entry->add_entry();
    }else die("Not Posted");
    ?>
the add entry() function does the following:
Code: [Select]
public function add_entry(){
    global $database;
$sql = "INSERT INTO sheetentries (";
$sql .= "user_id, date, start_time, end_time, break, required_hours, total_hours, notes";
$sql .= ") VALUES ('";
$sql .= $this->user_id ."', '";
$sql .= $this->date ."', '";
$sql .= $this->start_time ."', '";
$sql .= $this->end_time ."', '";
$sql .= $this->breaks ."', '";
$sql .= $this->reqd_hours ."', '";
$sql .= $this->total_hours ."', '";
$sql .= $this->notes ."')";
    $database->query($sql);
    }
the user_id or $u_id brought from the session when the user loggs in:
Code: [Select]
$u_id = $session->get('id');
anyway, whenever i try submitting the form nothing happens, what am i missing,,, thanks in advance

can someone visually just read through my code and let me know if this looks like it'll work? I'm not getting any errors in my IDE so now I want to double check the structure

My form values are not posting on my thankyou.php page.  I'm sure it's a simple fix.

Here's some code from reservation.php .
form action="CGI/gdform.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="formres" id="formres">
    <input type="hidden" name=" redirect" value="ThankYou.php">
   <label><span class="style12">Your Name:
   <input type="text" name="txtName" id="Name" />
   </span></label>
  ...
 <p class="style12"><span id="sprytextfield10">
   <label>Date of Special Event:
   <input type="text" name="DateReq" id="DateReq" />
   </label>
 <?php 
$txtName = $_GET[txtName];
...
$DateReq = $_GET[DateReq];
?>
 </form>

On my thankyou.php:
<body>

<?php
$txtName = $_POST[txtName];
...
$DateReq = $_POST[DateReq];

?>

and a little lower down...
<?php echo $txtName ?>
...
<?php echo $DateReq ?>


Any reason why the thank you page isn't calling the values?  I exhaustively checked it against a working form I have on another site, and the code seems to be, well, identical.

Not getting an error, just get empty space where the values should be.

I have a form that is populating fields based on a database query.  I am then trying to update the database based on any changes made in the form and passed through a POST action.

The problem I am having is with the block where I declare short variable names for the $_POST variables that will be passed when the user hits the submit button.  For each variable declaration I get an error message like this:
Quote

Encountered error: 8 in mbr_profile_updt_form.php, line 130: Undefined index: email


I have tried testing the $_POST variable using the isset function but it apparently is set but empty. 

What would be a good way to test to see if the user has pressed the submit button before I go into the processing block that is intended to handle those values from the form?

Here is where my code is at right now:
Code: [Select]
if (!isset($_POST))
{
throw new Exception('You have not filled the form out completely - please go back'
.' and try again.');   
}
else
{
//filled in so create short variable names
$email=$_POST['email'];
$first_name=$_POST['first_name'];
$last_name=$_POST['last_name'];
