Paul_Bunyan Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi al. I'm encountering a weird error where my form doesn't get submitted unless I click it 2 times. I don't mean double click, but only after I have submitted it twice. I just wanted to see if someone could take a look at my code to see if there is something obvious that I am overlooking. Thanks for any insight. **EDIT: I don't know where those boxes came from. I can't see how to remove em... <?php // connection statement require_once('../Connections/pubs_db.php'); // additional functions require_once('../includes/functions.inc.php'); require_once('../php/functions.php'); // build the form action $editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'] . (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']) ? "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'] : ""); if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["Submit"])) { if($HTTP_POST_VARS['contact_email'] != "") { $traceMsg = "email is not blank"; // check if the user id and password combination exist in database $sql = "SELECT username, password FROM user_directory WHERE contact_email=".squote_string(parse_string($HTTP_POST_VARS['contact_email'])); $result = $pubs_db->Execute($sql) or die('Query failed.

DarkWater Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm VERY curious as to why you're using $HTTP_POST_VARS instead of the better superglobal, $_POST. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmin Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 This is most likely caused by the fact that IE will not send a value for an input type=submit if ENTER is pressed instead of clicking it. Test the form with pressing ENTER and clicking and see if there is a difference in the way the code responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Bunyan Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm VERY curious as to why you're using $HTTP_POST_VARS instead of the better superglobal, $_POST. >_> I'm pretty new to PHP and I took over a project for someone. I modelled all my pages after his and it was just how he did things. I'll look into using $_POST instead. Thanks for the heads up. This is most likely caused by the fact that IE will not send a value for an input type=submit if ENTER is pressed instead of clicking it.
