Form Isn't Doing Anything!

Hello Everybody,

Here's my script:

?>
</body>
</html>


  </div>
                <div class="center_box_bottom"></div> 
            </div>

But it doesn't do anything! It just reloads and submits no data what so ever, any help would be great! Thanks!

...
   if ($_POST[spotlight]) { 
...

jumps out immediately

try changing to

   if ($_POST['spotlight']) {

Add the line I've commented and see if anything is returned after you submit the form. You should also be developing with error_reporting = -1 and display_errors = On in your php.ini file. Right now there are several undefined constant notices being generated that you aren't seeing due to the unquoted array indices.

<?php 
// Simple username Spotlight Script by Vorth of username UK

echo '****** POST ARRAY *****<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>****** END POST ARRAY ******'; // <--- ADD THIS LINE

$host="localhost"; // Host name

@Pikachu - Nothing from that, just stays the same

And I didn't get anything from yours either Muddy_funster, just stays the same

Thanks for both of your help though!

Does anybody have any ideas?

I would personally get rid of the javascript:ajaxpage() action and post directly to action=\"spotlight.php\" at least to sort out that issue.

I agree with Drummin. Get the form working first, then add the AJAX/JS.
