[help me organizing the script]

my question was why POST doesn't work while it should work since I put the POST for form method

As you can see, it is written as GET, and its actually working, thats why I am asking why this problem is happening

[help me organizing the script]

the script works, but I wanted to simplify the code if possible!

 

<div id="bottom">

 

 

<img src="test.png" id="test" usemap="#testmap" width="0" height="0" border="0" style="position: relative; top:-0px; visibility: hidden;">

 

<img src="test.png" id="test2" usemap="#testmap" width="0" height="0" border="0" style="position: relative; top:-0px; visibility: hidden;">

 

 

 

 

<map name="test">

 

<form method="post" target ="top>

<area shape="rect" coords="1,1,1,1" onmouseover="display(1);" href="test.php?id=0000">

 

</map>

 

 

<map name="test2">

 

<form method="post" target ="top>

<area shape="rect" coords="1,1,1,1" onmouseover="display(1);" href="test.php?id=0000">

 

</map>

 

</form>

</div>

 

 

now on my php pg,

 

i have this

 

if(!empty($_GET['id']))

{

 

$id=$_GET['id']

}

 

 

if I write this script and run, it works when I use get, but it will not when I replace it POST.

How can i fix the html page, for div, form, and map?

 

Thank you

 

 

 

 

[PHP txt editor recommendation]

out of notepad++, komodo, and aptana, what do you recommend/prefer?

[$_GET WORKS BUT NOT $POST]

Suppose on my html page i have this code:

 

 

<map name="example">

<form method="post">

<area shape="" coords=""  href="ex.php?id=0000" >

 

</form>

</map>

 

now on my php pg, 

 

if(!empty($_GET['id']))

{

$id = $_GET['id'];

}

 

if i write this script and run, it works, but if I replace to POST instead of GET, the page will not work, becomes a blank pg.

 

 

Anyone knowing what i'm doing wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

[php function help?]

Suppose I have this code

 

$num = $_SESSION['count'];

$_SESSION['a'][$num] = $a_letter;

$_SESSION['b'][$num] = $b_letter;

$_SESSION['c'][$num] = $c_letter;

$_SESSION['d'][$num] = $d_letter;

$_SESSION['e'][$num] = $e_letter;

$_SESSION['f'][$num] = $f_letter;

 

 

 

if(!exists) {

 

$num = $_SESSION['count'];

$_SESSION['a'][$num] = $a_letter;

$_SESSION['b'][$num] = $b_letter;

$_SESSION['c'][$num] = $c_letter;

$_SESSION['d'][$num] = $d_letter;

$_SESSION['e'][$num] = $e_letter;

$_SESSION['f'][$num] = $f_letter;

}

 

 

else {

$num = $_SESSION['count'];

$_SESSION['a'][$num] = $a_letter;

$_SESSION['b'][$num] = $b_letter;

$_SESSION['c'][$num] = $c_letter;

$_SESSION['d'][$num] = $d_letter;

$_SESSION['e'][$num] = $e_letter;

$_SESSION['f'][$num] = $f_letter;

 

}

 

Now I don't want those codes to copy paste repetitively, but instead I want to come up with a function - So I probably have to create a function in php then??

 

 

function list ()

 

{

$num = $_SESSION['count'];

$_SESSION['a'][$num] = $a_letter;

$_SESSION['b'][$num] = $b_letter;

$_SESSION['c'][$num] = $c_letter;

$_SESSION['d'][$num] = $d_letter;

$_SESSION['e'][$num] = $e_letter;

$_SESSION['f'][$num] = $f_letter;

 

}

 

$value = function list();

 

if (!exists)

 

{

$value

 

}

 

 

else {

 

$value

 

}

 

How does this work please?
