requinix Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The way your code is structured suggests you're trying to use a (whose markup isn't included in your post, or judging by the lack of closing doesn't exist at all), which is fine, but your "submit" button is type=button which actually makes it a button that doesn't do anything. It needs to be a type=submit. You know that this will do a net use on the server, right? Not on the client?

requinix Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You also need a . And you have to name the inputs. Or switch to AJAX, but that would come with more changes you'd have to make anyways.
