error

[ecabrera]

i get this error when i try to save my profile

 

 

Notice: Undefined index: sex in /home/ecabrera/public_html/edit_profile.php on line 20

 

                      $sex = fixtext($_POST["sex"];

[WebStyles]

maybe it should be:

$sex = fixtext($_POST["sex"]);

 

although that's very little info and code for us to figure it out.

 

try something like this:

 

if(isset($_POST['sex'])){
echo 'variable exists.';
}else{
echo 'Variable did not reach this page';
}

 

p.s. I'm not even going to ask what the content of that variable is, or did you mean 'gender' ...

[ecabrera]

yes i mean gender but i prefer sex i dont why

Gender:</td>
	<td><select> 
                <option>Female</option>
                <option>Male</option>
                </select>

is missing the select name and values. Should be

Gender:</td>
	<td><select name="sex"> 
                <option value="Female">Female</option>
                <option value="Male">Male</option>
                </select>

I dont have time to give you the entire answer answer, but the input for sex is a select box, and for what i see, you are handling it wrong.

Read up on how to handle the kind of input sex is.

 

Br,

Acoon

[ecabrera]

i did and it gives me errors thats the coorect way but when i tried that it give me server error

 

Gender:

<select name="sex">

<option value="male">male</option>

<option value="female">female</option></select>

[WebStyles]

escape quotes or change to single quotes:

 

<select name='sex'>
<option value='male'>male</option>
<option value='female'>female</option></select>

 

or

 

<select name=\"sex\">
<option value=\"male\">male</option>
<option value=\"female\">female</option></select>
