$_POST not getting sent.

[McBryver]

Hello,

 

My script here is not sending POST vars from form to script. I can't figure it out.

 

Form:

<form action="train2.php" method="POST">
<tr>
<td colspan="4"><center><img src="pic/toppage16.gif" /></center></td>
       </tr>

<TR> <TD><FONT COLOR="white">Reassign Miners</FONT></TD>

<TD align=right><FONT COLOR="white">0 Naquadah</FONT></TD>

<TD align=middle><FONT COLOR="white"><INPUT size="6" maxlength="8" value="0" name="miner>"</FONT></TD>

</TR>

<TR> 

<TD><FONT COLOR="white">Reassign Normal Attackers</FONT></TD>

<TD align=right><FONT COLOR="white">0 Naquadah</FONT></TD>

<TD align=middle><FONT COLOR="white"><INPUT size="6" maxlength="8" value="0" name="atsold"></FONT></TD>

</TR>

<TR> 

<TD><FONT COLOR="white">Reassign Normal Defenders</FONT></TD>


<TD align=right><FONT COLOR="white">0 Naquadah</FONT></TD>

<TD align=middle><FONT COLOR="white"><INPUT size=6 maxlength=8 value=0 name="defsold"></FONT></TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD><FONT COLOR="white">Reassign Covert Agents</FONT></TD>

<TD align=right><FONT COLOR="white">0 Naquadah</FONT></TD>

<TD align=middle><FONT COLOR="white"><INPUT size=6 maxlength=8 value=0 name="spy"></FONT></TD>

</TR>

<TR> <TD><FONT COLOR="white">Anti Covert Agents</FONT></TD>

<TD align=right><FONT COLOR="white">0 Naquadah</FONT></TD><TD align=middle><FONT COLOR="white"><INPUT size="6" maxlength=8 value=0 name="spykiller"></FONT></TD></TR>

<TR> <TD align=middle colSpan=3><FONT COLOR="white"><INPUT type="submit" value="UnTrain!" name="untrain">
</FONT>

</TD>

</form>

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['untrain'])){

die($_POST['miner']);
$miners = securevar($_POST['miner']);
$nattackers = securevar($_POST['atsold']);
$ndefenders = securevar($_POST['defsold']);
$covertunits = securevar($_POST['spy']);
$anticovertunits = securevar($_POST['spykiller']);

$totalunits+=$miners;
$totalunits+=$nattackers;
$totalunits+=$ndefenders;
$totalunits+=$covertunits;
$totalunits+=$anticovertunits;

if($totalunits>=1){
$q = "UPDATE `accountinfo_db` SET `miners_1` = `miners_1`-'$miner', `attackers_1` = `attackers_1`-'$natta', `defenders_1` = `defenders_1`-'$ndefe', `covertagents` = `covertagents`-'$cover', `anticovertagents` = `anticovertagents`+'$antic', `untrainedunits` = `untrainedunits`+'$totalunits' WHERE `id` = '$id'"; 
$res = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

if(isset($res)){
header("Location: train.php?strmsg=".$totalunits."Troops Untrained! For 0 Naquadah.");
}

}else{
header("Location: train.php?strmsg=You must enter atleast 1 troop to be un-trained!");
}

}


?>

 

when I die($_GET['miner'); nothing is outputed even tho I submited the data.

 

Thank you,

Brian

This is why.

You have a misplaced quote here: name="miner>"</FONT>. Make the edits I've commented in the code below and post it's output.

 

<?php
echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>'; // <---- ADD THIS LINE
if(isset($_POST['untrain'])){

die($_POST['miner']); // <---- REMOVE THIS LINE

Ok here is what I get from that:

 

Array
(
    [miner>] => 1
    [atsold] => 0
    [defsold] => 0
    [spy] => 0
    [spykiller] => 0
    [untrain] => UnTrain!
)

where the form, The 0 mean no post, The 1 means posted!

What everyone is trying to tell you is that the line die($_POST['miner'] actually kills further execution of the script, so nothing else gets done.  It's not that you're not receiving the $_POST array (your response to Pikachu2000's script demonstrates that).  It's that you stop the script from executing in the first line of the if(isset($_POST['untrain'])) block.

try this form and give post redults,

 

you ned to realy learn to tidy your code up, it bad very bad i broke a finger nail

You didn't fix the misplaced quote I pointed out earlier if the print_r() shows the result you posted. Look carefully at the first array key: [miner>] => 1

 

If you had error reporting set and display errors on, you would have gotten a warning regarding that when you tried to use the array element.
