[SOLVED] Unable to get a value

[ballouta]

hi

I have a complicated upload form, it is working but i have only one problem, I am not able to use the value of the get function in the $_POST['submit_id'] scope.

 

the code is not short, but i will show u its beginig and its end.

Note that when I echo the $user value before the $_POST['submit_id'] it working.

 

the Begining:

<?php

//Include configuration file and function file
//(default location is in the same directory)
include('../CMS/global.inc.php');
include_once('config.php');
include_once('functions.php');
$user= $_GET['user'];

//If contact is being sent:
if($_POST['submit_id'] == 1){
//Check name entered
//File Upload checks	
if($message == NULL && $FILE_UPLOAD == 1 && $_FILES['user_file']['name'] != NULL){
if($_FILES['user_file']['size'] > (($FILE_UPLOAD_MAX*1024)*1024)){ $message = 'File is over '.$FILE_UPLOAD_MAX.' MB in size.';}

if($message == NULL && allowed_ext($FILE_UPLOADS_EXT,$_FILES['user_file']['name']) == false){$message = 'Invalid extension.';}

//	$new_filename = date("G_i_s_").$_FILES['user_file']['name'];
$new_filename = $_FILES['user_file']['name'];

$date = date("y-m-d");

$query=" INSERT INTO `DB`.`uploaded` ( `user` , `sentfile` , `date` , `received`) VALUES
('meno', '$new_filename', '$date', 'N')";
$query_result = mysql_query ($query, $dbh);
}

 

This is the end of th form:

	<?php }
if($FILE_UPLOAD == 1){?>
<tr>
  <td>File Upload </td>
      <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td><input name="user_file" type="file" id="user_file">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font color="#FF0000" size="2"> 
            Please KEEP your .ask file name as if. Allowed Extension: 
            <?php 
		if($FILE_UPLOADS_EXT == 1){ echo 'All';}else{
		foreach($FILE_UPLOADS_EXT as $ext){ echo '*'.$ext;}}?>
          </font></td>
        </tr>
      </table>        </td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td colspan="2"><div align="center">
	<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send File">
	<input name="submit_id" type="hidden" id="submit_id" value="1">
	</div></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>

 

Why $user is not available in the first piece of code? How do I fix it please?

 

Thanks

Post the code the <FORM> tag

Here's the form in the same file: upload.php

it is very very complicated for me.

 

<?php } ?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="contact" id="contact" style="display:inline;">
<table width="100%"  border="0" align="left" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">

<?php
if($IMAGE_VERIFICATION == 1){?>
<tr>
  <td>Verification code:</td>
	<td>		  <table  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
		<tr>
			<td><?php
			$referenceid = md5(mktime()*rand());
			//Generate the random string
			$chars = array("a","A","b","B","c","C","d","D","e","E","f","F","g","G","h","H","i","I","j","J","k",
			"K","l","L","m","M","n","N","o","O","p","P","q","Q","r","R","s","S","t","T","u","U","v",
			"V","w","W","x","X","y","Y","z","Z","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9");
			$length = 8;
			$textstr = "";
			for ($i=0; $i<$length; $i++) {
			   $textstr .= $chars[rand(0, count($chars)-1)];
			}
			$new_string = RC4($textstr,$IMAGE_VER_CODE);
			$image_link = bin2hex($new_string);
			?>
			<img src="sec_image.php?code=<?=$image_link;?>">
			<input name="hid_code" type="hidden" id="hid_code" value="<?=$image_link;?>"><br/>
			<input name="confirm_image" type="text" id="confirm_image" value="<?php echo $_POST['confirm_image'];?>"></td>
		</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>
<?php }
if($FILE_UPLOAD == 1){?>
<tr>
  <td>File Upload </td>
      <td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
          <td><input name="user_file" type="file" id="user_file">
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td><font color="#FF0000" size="2"> 
            Please KEEP your .ask file name as if. Allowed Extension: 
            <?php 
		if($FILE_UPLOADS_EXT == 1){ echo 'All';}else{
		foreach($FILE_UPLOADS_EXT as $ext){ echo '*'.$ext;}}?>
          </font></td>
        </tr>
      </table>        </td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td colspan="2"><div align="center">
	<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send File">
	<input name="submit_id" type="hidden" id="submit_id" value="1">
	</div></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
