Issue with PHP Form Submit

[advancedfuture]

I am trying to execute some PHP code, I've done this before on my godaddy hosting account, but for some reason the code isn't working now that I ported it over to my private server.

 

It WORKS if i put the PHP on a seperate page and send the info through action=... but the if statement is not working if i try to execute the code on the same page ):

 

Here's the stripped down version of the code....

 

<form name="signup" id="signup" method="post" action="">
   <div align="center">
     First Name:
     <input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" />
     <input type="submit" id="dosubmit" name="dosubmit" value="Sign Up!" />
   </div>
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['dosubmit']))	
{
echo "CHEESE!";
}
?>

 

am I doing something wrong? The code just isnt executing...

in you action should be this like that: action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>"

[dezkit]

<?php
if(isset($_POST['dosubmit'])){
   echo "CHEESE!";
}
?>

<form name="signup" id="signup" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
   <div align="center">
     First Name:
     <input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" />
     <input type="submit" id="dosubmit" name="dosubmit" value="Sign Up!" />
   </div>
</form>

An empty action value causes a form to submit to the same page, so $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is actually not necessary.

 

What is the file name you are using for the single page?
