problem with form variable name being used not input

[datto510]

Hi,

 

I  have a form using post function

Job No: <input type="text" name="jobno"><br

and the next php file uses this code

$objWriter->save("'jobno'.xlsx");

but its ignoring the variable thats being input

Because it isn't using a variable in the first place. All you did was make a string that contains an apostrophe, the word "jobno", another apostrophe, a period, and "xslx".

 

If you want a variable in there then put a variable in there.

if (!isset($_POST["jobno"])) {
	// error: value missing
} else if ($_POST["jobno"] == "") {
	// error: empty value
} else if (!ctype_digit($_POST["jobno"])) { // replace with whatever validation you need
	// error: invalid jobno
} else {
	$jobno = $_POST["jobno"];
}

// ...

$objWriter->save($jobno . ".xlsx");
