Hi Guys
I am a total newbie to PHP and coding for that matter and have recently done a 10 week basic course in PHP. So I should be able to answer this question but I am stuck please help. My code looks like this;
<?php
if (isset($_POST['britbatID'])) {
header("Location:editbritbat.php?pageID=".$_POST['britbatID']."");
}
?>
<div id="category">
<h2>Edit a British Battalion</h2>
<form action="" method="post">
<fieldset>
<div class="selection"><label for="BritbatID">Edit British Battalion</label>
<select name="britbatID">
<option value="<?php echo $row_britbatname['britbatID'];?>"><?php echo $row_britbatname['britbatname'];?></option>
<?php do { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_britbatname['britbatID'];?>"><?php echo $row_britbatname['britbatname'];?></option>
<?php } while ($row_britbatname = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsbritbatname));?>">
</select>
<input name="<?php if (isset($_POST['britbatID'])) {
header("Location:editbritbat.php");} ?>britbatID"submitBat" class="button" type="submit" value="edit this British Battalion"> </div>
<!-- end selection--></div>
However when I use the editbritbat.php file it fails to have any value for $britbatID. The relevant code in my editbritbat.php file is;
<?php
if (isset($_GET['britbatID']))
{ $britbatID = $_GET['britbatID'];
}?>
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_britishforces, $britishforces);
$query_britbatname = "SELECT * FROM battalions
WHERE battalions.britbatID = '$britbatID'";
$rsbritbatname = mysql_query($query_britbatname, $britishforces) or die(mysql_error());
$row_britbatname = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsbritbatname);
?>
Every time I run editbritbat is fails and states :Undefined variable: britbatID in C:\xampp\htdocs\BFWIIFD\editbritbat.php on line 9
I am sure this is an easy answer but I am stuck and don't get what I am doing wrong.
Cheers
Richard
