PHP - Form $_post Problem!

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!

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.

This is just a snippet of my code. The php script itself is called test.php and so it calls itself once the form is submitted. I keep having problems retrieving the data back correctly; I am testing in retrieving the data on the same script from the same page before retrieving the POST data from another webpage.

If $decimalSum is a variable that assigns a value that is hard-coded then I would be able to retrieve the same value. However, if the value is computed I can not retrieve it unless I click on the "Find" button twice. This is such a strange behavior and I don't know why.

Does anyone have any suggested solutions to this?

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'];
