$_POST Values are Empty

[unemployment]

My $_POST array is not holding the gender or tos values and is showing up empty.  Any idea why? 

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['finish']))

{

print_array($_POST);

 

$gender = (int)$_POST["gender"];

$tos = (int)$_POST["tos"];

}

?>

<form action="join.php?key=<?php echo $_GET["key"]; ?>" method="post" id="form" name="signup">

<div class="tcenter mtl mbl pbs">

<input id="termsbox" type="checkbox" name="tos" value="1" /> I agree with the <a href="terms.php">Terms and Conditions</a>.

</div>

<div class="signUp mbl pbl" id="finish">

<input type="submit" id="finish_btn" name="finish" value="Finish" /> <input type="reset" value="Clear" />

</div>

</form>

Since there is no built-in print_array() function, it's likely that your user written print_array() function is wiping out the data. It's also possible that your actual form is reusing those field names (the last occurrence in the form wins) or your actual form is invalid html or you have some php code that is wiping out the values.

 

Without the full code that duplicates the symptom, no one can directly help you find the problem.

yes we cannot help unless we see your custom function print_array() unless you mean print_r?

[unemployment]

here is my function.  Let me know if you need more code

 

<?php

function print_array($array)
{
echo '<pre>', ((is_array($array)) ?  print_r($array, true): $array), '</pre>';
}

?>

Does anyone know what's wrong with this?

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Your posted code works as expected. Did you try just the code you posted to see if it produces the problem?

 

I notice that you are reselecting/redisplaying all the previous form field values except for the two that are not working. Are you sure you are not resubmitting the form after a validation error without selecting a gender radio button and the tos checkbox?

Hmm... I still can't find the error, but I am also not reselecting the password fields and those seem to be working.
