[SOLVED] the echo is blank from a <input> name

[jeff5656]

In the form a user can click one of 2 submit buttons:

<input type="submit" name="Submit-pool" value="Add Patient to submitted pool" onClick="return check('newsubmit', this.name)">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Add Patient to upcoming conference" onClick="return check('newsubmit', this.name)">

 

But when I select the submit-pool button and echo it, there is no value:

 

echo "submit is " .$_POST['submit-pool']; <<-----this echos blank
if(isset($_POST['submit-pool'])){
$signoff_status = 'p';
$backto = 'displaypotential.php';
}
else {
$signoff_status = 'a';
$backto = 'displayactive.php';
}

Well, first off in the form it says 'Submit-pool' and in the code you're using $_POST['submit-pool']. It is case-sensitive.

case-sensitive

 

Thank you!  That worked.  I never would have figured that out :-)
