submitting form to self problem

[JamesThePanda]

Hi

Im having a problem with some code Im not sure if its a php thing or a html thing.

 

Basically I have been making a wordpress plugin, In the plugin there is a form, all it is ment to do is. delete a row of a table in a data base

all is working fine apart from one thing the delete button.

More specifically the action of the form, i have tried to get the form to submit to its self by setting the target as the specific php file.

 

How can i check If the file is actually submitting to its self.

Thanks

put this at the top of the page in question (assuming you have a 'submit' named input)?

 

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {echo 'it is posting to itself fine';}

example form code:

<form method="post" action="pagename.php">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Delete" />
</form>

 

Just make shure the php code is listening to the correct submit btn "name"

and make shure the php code that deletes receives the correct row id

otherwhise you wont be able to delete anything.

 

Can you post your code???

You can always use the server global's request_uri as your action

echo '<form action="'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'" method="post">';
