[SOLVED] Extra values being retrieved from post form

Recommended Posts

For some reason this script returns two extra numbers (even though the form only submits letters) when I am returning the $value variable in the section that processes the form. The form is only four fields long, but when I echo $value, it shows the four values from the form plus two more values. I'm a little confused. Hopefully someone can help.

 

<?php



if ($action != processform)
{
dateForm();
}




if ($action == processform)
{
$badform = "no";
foreach ($_POST as $field => $value)
{
  if ($value == "")
{
	echo "<font color='red'>You have not filled in a ";
	convertLabel($field);
	echo "!<br></font>";
	$badform = "yes";
}
echo "$value";
if (!ereg("^[A-Za-z '-]{0,50}$",$value) )
{
	echo "<font color='red'>";
	convertLabel($field);
	echo " has invalid characters!<br></font>";
	$badform = "yes";
}
}
}



if ($badform == "yes")
{
	dateForm();
}
if ($badform == "no")
{
	echo "Success!";
}


function dateForm()
{
	echo "<b>
		<font size='4'>Add A Date!</font><br><br>";

		$labels = array ("Date_Name" => "Date's Name",
                 "Date_School" => "Date's School",
                 "Date_City" => "Date's City",
                 "Date_State" => "Date's State");

	echo "<form action='newdate.php?action=processform' method='POST'>\n";
	foreach ($labels as $field => $label)
	{
		$value = $_POST[$field];
		echo "$label <br><input type='text' name='$field' value='$value' size='50' maxlength '50'>";
			if ($field == "Date_School")
				{
					echo " </b><font size='2'><a href='newschool.php'>New School?</a></font><b>";
				}
		echo "<br><br>\n";
	}

	echo "<input type='image' SRC='images/adddatebutton.png' ALT='Submit button'></form>";
}


function convertLabel($field)
{
if ($field == "Date_Name")
	{
		$label = "Date Name";
	}
if ($field == "Date_School")
	{
		$label = "Date School";
	}
if ($field == "Date_City")
	{
		$label = "Date City";
	}
if ($field == "Date_State")
	{
		$label = "Date State";
	}
	echo "$label";
}
