PaganOne Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Having a problem w/ a self-submitting form.... 1st submission everything seems to work correct. Every subsequent submission all of the $_POST data gets dropped. I enter data into the fields, but NONE of it carries forward.... I've been fighting this #@%& thing all day If anyone has any insight, please help!! Here's the page pared down to the essentials. TIA!! <?php session_start(); function db_open() { $dbUser="sqluser"; $dbPass="sqlpass"; $dbName="sqlname"; $dbHost="$localhost"; if(!($link=mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass))) { echo('Connect Error'); } if(!mysql_select_db($dbName,$link)) { echo('Select Error'); } return($link); } $thispage = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $connection=db_open(); $userpw=$_POST['userpw']; $email=$_POST['email']; if($_POST['Submit']=='Login') { if($email==""){ $errmsg='e-mail cannot be blank!'; } else if($userpw==""){ $errmsg='Password Required!'; } else { $qry="SELECT * FROM client WHERE email='$email'"; $result=mysql_query($qry); $tmpmessage='Returned '.mysql_num_rows($result).' Rows'; $userdata=mysql_fetch_row($result); var_dump($userdata); // Debug if(mysql_num_rows($result)!=1) { $errmsg='Sorry, we have no record of this email address.'; } else if($userpw==$userdata[11]) { $client_id=$userdata[0]; $client_firstname=$userdata[2]; $client_lastname=$userdata[1]; $_SESSION['client_id']=$client_id; $_SESSION['client_firstname']=$client_firstname; $_SESSION['client_lastname']=$client_lastname; } else { $errmsg='The password provided does not match our records.'; }; }; }; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Test Document</title> </head> <body> <form action="<?php echo $thispage; ?>" method="post" name="form1" target="_self" id="form1"> <table width="623" border="0"> <tr> <td width="45"> </td> <td width="258"> </td> <td width="207"> </td> <td width="95"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td colspan="2"><?php echo $errmsg; ?></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td style="text-align: right">email</td> <td><input type="text" name="email" id="textfield" value="<?php echo $email; ?>" /></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td style="text-align: right">password</td> <td><input type="password" name="userpw" id="userpw" value="<?php echo $userpw ?>" /></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" id="Submit" value="Login" /></td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169556-problem-w-self-submission/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawade Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Have you tried... <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169556-problem-w-self-submission/#findComment-895246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oni-kun Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It seems he has it linked, but yes it is wise to do it directly for debugging such as this. target="_self" Could that be the problem? It might be submitting the second time, into the wrong place, I can't see anything that would otherwise muck up subsequent submits..
