Problem sending data from a html form to a php file

[ddiddy]

So here is my code:

//form.html

<form action="http://localhost/lab3/index.php" method="post " >

<input type="text" name="numar" value=""><br>

        <input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit">

</form>

 

 

//and in index.php ,which is in the specified folder if I write :

if($_POST['numar']!="")

$m=$_POST['numar'];

 

//then I get an error saying Undefined index: numar

 

I really read a lot about forms and saw examples , but I can't figure out what's wrong. If you have any ideas..

I assume you are getting that error when you FIRST load the page and not when you actually submit the form. That is because of your if() condition

if($_POST['numar']!="")

 

The PHP parser is throwing a warning because it can't test $_POST['numar'] because it doesn't exist (if you haven't POSTed the form). Instead you should use isset()

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

 

Although you should probably also run trim on the value and test that it's not empty in the validation logic.

I get this error when i click the submit button from the form ( i didn't even try to load the php file,that is not the point).

I also tried with if(isset($_POST['numar'])) and it appears as it is never set.

Post the current code.

I just fixed it , I had a space after "post" in : method="post " ..silly mistake,but I didn't notice.

Thanks anyway.
