<?php echo $post ... not working consistently

[jpopuk]

Hi, I am setting up a mini forum. When the user names a detailed post, I want them to be able to EDIT the post, when they click edit post page I am using:

<?php echo $post['message']; ?>

this code brings up the message they submitted in their original post so they can edit it.

 

I am having trouble with trying to do the same for the other fields, ad_type, pet_type, breed, gender, colours, dob, available and price. Here is the code for the edit post page:

 

if (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == 'edit_post') {
if ($post['user_id'] != $user_data['user_id'] && $user_data['group_id'] != GROUPS_ADMIN && $user_data['group_id'] != GROUPS_MOD) {
	error('You do not have permission to edit this post!');
}

if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	$body->set('post', $post);
	$tpl->set('body', $body->fetch('post_edit.tpl.php'));
} else {
	$ad_type			= isset($_POST['ad_type']) ? check_input($_POST['ad_type']) : '';
	$pet_type			= isset($_POST['pet_type']) ? check_input($_POST['pet_type']) : '';
	$breed				= isset($_POST['breed']) ? check_input($_POST['breed']) : '';
	$gender				= isset($_POST['gender']) ? check_input($_POST['gender']) : '';
	$colours			= isset($_POST['colours']) ? check_input($_POST['colours']) : '';
	$dob_day			= isset($_POST['dob_day']) && is_numeric($_POST['dob_day']) && $_POST['dob_day'] > 0 && $_POST['dob_day'] <= 31 ? $_POST['dob_day'] : '';
	$dob_month			= isset($_POST['dob_month']) && is_numeric($_POST['dob_month']) && $_POST['dob_month'] > 0 && $_POST['dob_month'] <= 12 ? $_POST['dob_month'] : '';
	$dob_year			= isset($_POST['dob_year']) && is_numeric($_POST['dob_year']) ? $_POST['dob_year'] : '';
	$dob				= $dob_day . '|' . $dob_month . '|' . $dob_year;
	$available_day		= isset($_POST['available_day']) && is_numeric($_POST['available_day']) && $_POST['available_day'] > 0 && $_POST['available_day'] <= 31 ? $_POST['available_day'] : '';
	$available_month	= isset($_POST['available_month']) && is_numeric($_POST['available_month']) && $_POST['available_month'] > 0 && $_POST['available_month'] <= 12 ? $_POST['available_month'] : '';
	$available_year		= isset($_POST['available_year']) && is_numeric($_POST['available_year']) ? $_POST['available_year'] : '';
	$available			= $available_day . '|' . $available_month . '|' . $available_year;
	$price				= isset($_POST['price']) ? check_input($_POST['price']) : '';
	$message			= isset($_POST['message']) ? check_input($_POST['message']) : '';
	$subscribe			= isset($_POST['subscribe']) && $_POST['subscribe'] == 'yes' ? 'yes' : 'no';
	$delete				= isset($_POST['delete']) && $_POST['delete'] == 'yes' ? 'yes' : 'no';

	if ($message == '') {
		error('Your message did not contain any content!');
	}

	$db->query("DELETE FROM " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_subscriptions WHERE user_id = $post[user_id] AND topic_id = $post[topic_id])");

	if ($delete == 'yes') {
		output('Your post has been successfully deleted!');

		if ($post['is_first'] == 1) {
			$result = $db->query("SELECT user_id FROM " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_posts WHERE topic_id = $post[topic_id]");

			while ($user = $db->fetch_array($result)) {
				$db->query("UPDATE " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "users SET num_posts = num_posts - 1 WHERE user_id = $user[user_id]");
			}

			$db->query("DELETE FROM " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_topics WHERE topic_id = $post[topic_id]");
			$db->query("DELETE FROM " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_posts WHERE topic_id = $post[topic_id]");

			redirect('/forum/' . get_url_forum($post['forum_id'], $post['forum_name']), 2);
		} else {
			$db->query("DELETE FROM " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_posts WHERE post_id = $post_id");
			$db->query("UPDATE " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_topics SET num_replies = num_replies - 1 WHERE topic_id = $post[topic_id]");
			$db->query("UPDATE " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "users SET num_posts = num_posts - 1 WHERE user_id = $post[user_id]");

			redirect('/forum/' . get_url_forum($post['forum_id'], $post['forum_name'], $post['topic_id'], $post['subject']), 2);
		}

		update_forum($post['forum_id']);
	} else {
		$db->query("UPDATE " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_posts SET message = '$message' WHERE post_id = $post_id");

		if ($subscribe == 'yes') {
			$db->query("INSERT INTO " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_subscriptions (user_id, topic_id) VALUES ($post[user_id], $post[topic_id])");
		}

		if ($post['is_first'] == 1) {
			$subject			= isset($_POST['subject']) ? check_input($_POST['subject']) : '';
			$topped				= isset($_POST['topped']) && $_POST['topped'] == 'yes' && ($user_data['group_id'] == GROUPS_ADMIN || $user_data['group_id'] == GROUPS_MOD) ? 1 : 0;

			$db->query("UPDATE " . $config['db']['prefix'] . "forum_topics SET subject = '$subject', topped = $topped WHERE topic_id = $post[topic_id]");
		}

		output('Your post has been successfully updated! Please wait while we redirect you to your post.');
		redirect('/forum/' . get_url_forum($post['forum_id'], $post['forum_name'], $post['topic_id'], $post['subject'],  $post_id), 2);
	}
}
}

 

I have setup all the correct tables, and installed into MySQL and the data stores in the same place as 'message' but every time I use a different variable, eg.

<?php echo $post['price']; ?>

 

I get this error:

 

Notice:  Undefined index:  price in /home/www/templates/forum/post_edit.tpl.php on line 132

 

Line 32 has this on it

<?php echo $post['price']; ?>

 

If anyone can spot what I am doing wrong I would really appreciate it. Been staring at my screen for hours trying to solve this

 

Thanks,

Shouldn't you be using $_POST['price']

[jpopuk]

Yeah, I have tried that also, but it still says "Notice:  Undefined index:  price in /home/www/templates/forum/post_edit.tpl.php on line 132"

 

It baffles me, can't seem to figure it out which is driving me nuts!
