[SOLVED] having a post issue in IE

[aebstract]

I was thinking this was a basic html issue, but I think it's in to the php. (may be wrong) It seems whenever I click my button to process the script, it won't finish through in IE but does fine in Firefox. Note that I am using an image as the submit button. Here is the page:

 

<?php
header("Cache-control: private");
if(!isset($_SESSION["id"]))
{
header("Location: index.php?page=login");
exit;
}

echo '<pre>', print_r($_POST), '</pre>';

$product_cat = $_GET['product_cat'];
$checknum = 1;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `p_products` WHERE category='$product_cat'") or DIE(mysql_error());
while($r = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
  $id = $r['id'];
  $partnumber = $r['partnumber'];
  $partname = $r['partname'];
  $description = $r['description'];
  $price = $r['price'];
  $option1 = $r['option1'];
$specialid = $id;

$postname = image.$id;
$postsize = size.$id;

if (isset($_POST[$postname])) {
$error = 0;
if (isset($_POST['hideme'])) {
if (empty($_POST[$postsize])){
$error = 1;
$errormsg = "You must fill in a Pipe Size for $partname.";
} else {
$sizenum = $_POST[$postsize];
$specialid = $id.";".$sizenum;
}





}


if ($error == 1){
$errordisplay .= "<div id=\"error_box\">   $errormsg</div>";
} else {



$materialid = material.$id;
$finishid = finish.$id;
$material = $_POST[$materialid];
$finish = $_POST[$finishid];



if (isset($_SESSION['cart'][$id][$material][$finish])) {




  foreach ($_SESSION['cart'] as $id2 => $array2){

		if ($id2 == $id) {

		foreach ($array2 as $material2 => $array3){

		if ($material2 == $material) {

	foreach ($array3 as $finish2 => $array4){

		if ($finish2 == $finish) {

$newqty = $array4['qty'];
$newqty ++;
if (isset($array4['size'])) {
$_SESSION['cart'][$id][$material][$finish] = array(qty => $newqty, size => $array4['size']);
} else {
$_SESSION['cart'][$id][$material][$finish] = array(qty => $newqty);
}
header("Location: index.php?page=cart");
exit;

}
	}
	   }

  }
           }







    	}






} else {

if (isset($_POST['hideme'])) {
$setsize = size.$id;
$_SESSION['cart'][$id][$material][$finish] = array(qty => 1, size => $_POST[$setsize]);
} else {
$_SESSION['cart'][$id][$material][$finish] = array(qty => 1);
}
header("Location: index.php?page=cart");
exit;
}
}



}


if (!empty($option1)){
$clicker = "

$checknum ++;
}




?>

 

With the echo "$_POST" I get this displayed:

 

Array

(

    [material11] => Stainless

    [finish11] => Uncoated

    [size11] =>

    [hideme] => needsize

    [image11_x] => 36

    [image11_y] => 16

)

1

 

Then the page is just sitting there as if it hadn't changed a bit.

[premiso]

My instinct says try removing

 

header("Cache-control: private");

 

And see if it works on IE.

[aebstract]

Nope  :'(

[aebstract]

Right here:

 

if (isset($_POST[$postname])) {

 

is where the script dies in IE. I can echo information above this and not below it (inside it).

[premiso]

$postname = "image" . $id;
$postsize = "size" . $id;

 

Do that, unless "image" and "size" were constants. That is the only spot I would see that would "cause" issues. Not sure why it is IE specific...

[aebstract]

Yeah that didn't do the trick either and I really don't know why it is IE specific either, it's bugging the hell out of me though. I just tested on IE on another machine to make sure it wasn't my pc somehow and still had the same issue.

[PFMaBiSmAd]

This is one case where IE is following the HTML specification for images as a submit button - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.form-image

[aebstract]

So is that what is messing it up? Is this something that would be easier to fix by changing over to normal submit buttons and using css to make the button an image, or is there another fix that wouldn't be too bad?

[aebstract]

Switching over to submit buttons instead of image buttons, seems to be fixing the problem. Thanks for that.
