Renzokuken Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hello, I have a .htaccess file set up to create directories and files based on my PHP variables. That's how it looks anyway. It's really just some URL rewriting. I'm looking to submit a form and use the code on the same page to handle the form via isset(). The problem is, however, that $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; redirects me back to the original base/index.php page, while nothing gets submitted. I can sort of see why, but is there any way to overcome it? I could probably use the actual file and variable names, but that isn't very practical as I intend on using this code as a basis for a much larger scale. I'm not too fond of using external pages as sources for the form action either for the same reason. My intentions were to have everything handled on a single page. Also, feel free to post constructive criticism on how to improve the code. I'm rather new to PHP and will need all the help I can get. .htaccess code RewriteRule base/([a-zA-Z]+)/$ base/index.php?cat=$1 RewriteRule base/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.php$ base/index.php?cat=$1&subcat=$2 index.php code <html> <head> <title>Index</title> </head> <body> <?php $cat=$_GET['cat']; $subcat=$_GET['subcat']; if (isset($cat)){ if ($cat=='foo'){ if (isset($subcat)){ if($subcat=='bar'){ if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { echo 'Entry Submitted Successfully'; } else{ ?> <h1>Add an Entry</h1> <div> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <div> <span>Field:</span> <span><input type="text" size="15" /></span> </div> <div> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /> </div> </form> </div> <p> <a href="/base/">Return to Base Page</a> </p> <?php } } else { echo 'Error: Not a valid sub-category.'; } } else { ?> <h1>Select an Option</h1> <ul> <li><a href="bar.php">Add Entry</a></li> </ul> <p> <a href="/base/">Return to Base Page</a> </p> <?php } } else { echo 'Error: Not a valid Category.'; } } else{ ?> <h1>Base Page</h1> <h2><a href="foo/">Go to "Select an Option" page</a></h2> <ul> <li><a href="foo/bar.php">Go to "Add an Entry" page</a></li> </ul> <?php } ?> </div> </body></html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211401-fake-directories-and-form-actions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
