Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Orionsbelter]

$idm2=strip_tags($_POST['idm2']);

<input type=hidden name=idm2 value=3> 

 

Why is $idm2 showing a 0 when its clearly 3?

[blueman378]

is your form sending via post?

[Orionsbelter]

yes.

[blueman378]

can we see your whole form? and is the action sending to the page that that code is on?

[mraiur]

<form action="" method="post" name="somename">

<input type="hidden" name="idm2" value="3">

</form>

[blueman378]

I bet this is your problem

 

$idm2 = strip_tags($_POST['idm2']);

 

PHP does not allow you to use numbers in variable names, atleast I tried last week and it didn't let me

 

Try

 

$idm_two = strip_tags($_POST['idm2']);

That is not correct. You can not start a variable name with a number, but you can have numbers anywhere else in the variable name.

Make sure you are not restating the value of idm2 in your HTML, or between the point where you set $idm2 and where you echo it.

[kenrbnsn]

I don't see a submit button in your form.

 

Also, is the form in the same file as the PHP code used to display the values or a different file?

another good thing to see other than just the form, would be a better chunk of code instead of that one line.
