[SOLVED] losing my $_POST data

[jb489]

Hi Guys,

 

I have a table which i fill when the user puts in a username using this code:

 

<div id="leftcolumn">

<div class="innertube"><b>Search for: </b>

<br/><br/>

<form action="Main.php" method="post">

<textarea name="username" cols="20" rows="1">Enter user name here...</textarea><br/><br/>

    <input type="submit" value="Go SAM !!"/>

    </form>

</div>

</div>

 

this works fine, i am refreshing to the same page "Main.php", taking the $_POST["username"] and doing what i have to do with it.  This fills up a table. Now on the first table i only show the first 10 results.  Then i have two image buttons with net and previous which have the following code:

 

<form method="post" name="DATA" action="<?php

    if(isset($_POST["lastResults"]) && ($_POST["lastResults"] != false))

    {

    $_POST["lastResults"] = false;

    $page = $_SERVER['Main.php'];

    $sec = 1;

    echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

    //header("Refresh: $sec; url=$page");    

    }

    ?>">

<input type="image" src="images/buttonPrev.gif" title="Move to previous page of results"/>

</form>

 

<form method="post" name="Data" action="<?php

    if(isset($_POST["lastResults"]) && ($_POST["lastResults"] != true))

    {

    $_POST["lastResults"] = true;

    $_POST["singleUserDatagrid"] = $_POST["singleUserDatagrid"];

    $_POST["multipleUserDatagrid"] = $_POST["multipleUserDatagrid"];

    $_POST["username"] = "testing";

    $page = $_SERVER["Main.php"];

    $sec = 1;

    echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

    //header("Refresh: $sec; url=$page");

    }

    ?>">

    <input type="image" src="images/buttonNext.gif" title="Move to next page of results"/>

</form>

 

This is again going back to "Main.php".  But this time, when i access my $_POST array, i have nothing inside except for the image button position.  I have 3 variables i have put into $_POST while the data is being loaded to the table using code like so:

 

$_SESSION["custconfig"] = $custconfig;

$_SESSION["singleUserDatagrid"] = $singleuser;

$_SESSION["multipleUserDatagrid"] = $multipleuser;

 

Can anybody help please ?

 

Thanks

change

 

$_POST["lastResults"] = true;

etc..

 

to

<input type='hidden' name='lastResults' value='true'>

etc..

You are overwritting your $_POST data when you submit your other two forms. What you'll have to do is pass the old $_POST data in either a hidden field in your other forms or via $_SESSION vars

so will this work ?

 

<form method="post" name="Data" action="<?php

    if(isset($_POST["lastResults"]) && ($_POST["lastResults"] != true))

    {

    echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

    }

    ?>">

    <input type="image" src="images/buttonNext.gif" title="Move to next page of results"/>

    <input type='hidden' name='lastResults' value='true'>

    <input type='hidden' name='singleUserDatagrid' value='<?php echo($_POST["singleUserDatagrid"])?>'>

    <input type='hidden' name='multipleUserDatagrid' value='<?php echo($_POST["multipleUserDatagrid"])?>'>

    <input type='hidden' name='lastResults' value='true'>

</form>

what i have in singleUserDatagrid and multipleuserDatagrid are 2 dimensional arrays.  And these are not being sent across yet with the code above.  any more suggestions ?
