How do I debug a POST?

[unemployment]

I don't know how to debug this.  The if is being executed and I want to have the else be executed.  How can I find out what $_POST['id'] is?

 

if (isset($_POST['id']) === false)
{
echo 'Invalid user id.';
}
else
{
partner_request($_POST['id']);
echo "A request has been sent to the user";
}

[drisate]

if (!isset($_POST['id'])){
echo 'Invalid user id.';
}else{
partner_request($_POST['id']);
echo "A request has been sent to the user";
}

 

[unemployment]

if (!isset($_POST['id'])){
echo 'Invalid user id.';
}else{
partner_request($_POST['id']);
echo "A request has been sent to the user";
}

 

That's not quite what I was looking for.  How can tell if post['id'] has been posted?

[Muddy_Funster]

echo 'Value of POST id = '.$_POST['id'].'<br>';

you can also check the hole post array with this

echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";

hmmm looks like I have nothing in the POST array.  Is my form wrong or something?

 

<form action="../partnerRequest.php" method="post">
<button class="submitlink">
	<span class="f_right">Associates</span>
	<img src="../assets/img/becomeassoc.jpg" class="mrs vmiddle" alt="Associates" />
</button>
</form>

Try this inside your <form>;

 

<input type='hidden' name='id' value='someValue /'>

 

Obviously change someValue to whatever value you want passed to your script.

I got the id to be passed into the array with the hidden input but there is not value outputted with

 

<input type='hidden' name='uid' value='<?php $info['id'];?>' />

Why did you change the name of the field to "uid" when you're using "id"?

[unemployment]

I changed it back, but it still fails.  No value being passed through.

' />

You need to echo the value:

' />

 

EDIT: changed uid back to id.

I got it to work... I needed to echo the value
