Global Variables not working as expected
raversnet replied to raversnet's topic in PHP Installation and Configuration
Ok after i turned off the Register_Globals it quit working. Shoulda did that in the first place. After updating the line: [code]$ret=add_to_database($_POST['domain'], $_POST['sex'], $_POST['mail'], $dberror);[/code] It worked just fine with Globals off. Thanks again, R. -
Global Variables not working as expected
raversnet replied to raversnet's topic in PHP Installation and Configuration
Ok i removed the Post Vars loop and replaced the ISSET line with: [code]if (isset ($_POST['domain']) && isset($_POST['sex']) && isset ($_POST['mail'])){[/code] It works now which is fantastic. Thing is i never had to replace all other references to $domain, etc. They just work. Why would ISSET be the only function affected. If that makes any sense. Thanks for the help btw. R. -
Greetings all. Im currently trying to learn PHP and have stumbled across this problem on numerous occasions already. I understand that when i submit a form in example1.php and with the ACTION arguement call another file such as example2.php. That i cannot pass the values without [color=red]register_globals[/color] being set to ON in the php.ini file. Unless i use the built in $HTTP_POST_VARS array. But if im not calling another file and simply wish to submit a form back to its own document using global $PHP_SELF(or just be default it should do this anyways). Having [color=red]register_globals[/color] set to OFF shouldnt matter. The script im trying to get working is this: [code]<html> <head> </head> <body> <?php $PARAMS=$HTTP_POST_VARS; /// I ADDED THIS JUST TO SEE IF THE VARIABLES DID IN FACT EXIST foreach ($PARAMS as $key=>$value){ print "$key=$value <br>"; } if (isset ($domain) && isset($sex) && isset ($mail)){ // check user input here! $dberror=""; $ret=add_to_database($domain, $sex, $mail, $dberror); if (!$ret) print "Error: $dberror<BR>"; else print "Thank you very much"; } else { write_form(); } function add_to_database($domain, $sex, $mail, &$dberror){ $user = "raversnet"; $pass = "5434697"; $db = "test"; $link=mysql_pconnect("myth3",$user, $pass); if (!$link){ $dberror="Couldnt connect to MySQL server"; return false; } if (!mysql_select_db($db, $link)){ $dberror=mysql_error(); return false; } $query="INSERT INTO domains (domain, sex, mail) values ('$domain','$sex','$mail')"; if (!mysql_query($query, $link)){ $dberror=mysql_error(); return false; } return true; } function write_form(){ global $PHP_SELF; print "<form method=\"POST\">"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"domain\">"; print "The domain you would like<p>"; print "<input type=\"text\" name=\"mail\">"; print "Your mail address<p>"; print "<select name=\"sex\">"; print "\t<option value=\"M\"> Male"; print "\t<option value=\"F\"> Female"; print "</select>"; print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"submit!\"></form>"; } ?> </body> </html>[/code] The script displays the variables whether the [color=red]register_globals[/color] are on or off. Doesnt matter. However the script Function ISSET doesnt work unless its set to ON. I can get the script working with [color=red]register_globals[/color] OFF if i cycle through the array but really as far as i know....i shouldnt have to. Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Rob
