Hi
I'm trying to post and validate a form but it doesn't seem to work and it doean't display any errors
Here's the code
<?php include("config.php"); session_start(); ?> <?php // define variables and initialize with empty values $rateErr = $comErr = ""; $rating = $comment = ""; if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { if ($_POST["rating"] == "") { $rateErr = "Rate the app"; } else { $rating= $_POST["rating"]; } if (empty($_POST["comment"])) { $comErr = "Missing"; } else { $comment = $_POST["comment"]; } if ($rateErr == "" && $comErr == "") { try { $con = new PDO( DB_DSN, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD ); $con->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION ); $sql = "INSERT INTO reviews (rating, content, appID, user) VALUES(:rating, :comment, :appID, :username)"; $stmt = $con->prepare( $sql ); $stmt->bindValue( ":rating", $rating); $stmt->bindValue( ":comment", $comment); $stmt->bindValue( ":appID", $_GET['id']); $stmt->bindValue( ":username", $_SESSION['username']); $stmt->execute(); return "Submitted successfully"; }catch( PDOException $e ) { return $e->getMessage(); } } } ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <form method="POST" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>"> <select name="rating"> <option value=""></option> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> <option value="4">4</option> <option value="5">5</option> </select> <span class="error"><?php echo $rateErr;?></span> <br /> <textarea rows="4" cols="50" name="comment" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($comment);?>"> Enter text here...</textarea> <span class="error"><?php echo $comErr;?></span> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html>

ok sorry, thought it would return the error and display it, it's a help thread so thx for pointing that out.
So appareantly the problem is the $_GET parameter that i pass, error: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'appID' cannot be null
I assume the parameter i pass in URL disappears after submission? At least it looks so, it's passed just fine and after I click submit button I get that error and there is no id in the URL
