jimmi8 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 HI,i have this code:PHP Code:<?php include ('header.inc'); ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <p><b>title</b> <input type="text" name="title" size="10" maxlength="20" value="" /></p> <p><b>body</b><textarea name="body" rows="10" columns="50"></textarea></p> <p>category</p><select name="category"> <option value="fish">fiah</option> <option value="fish"></option> </select> <div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></div> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { if(isset($_POST['title'])) { $title = ($_POST['title']); } else { $title = NULL; } if(isset($_POST['body'])) { $body = ($_POST['body']); } else { $body = NULL; } if(isset($_POST['category'])) { $category = ($_POST['category']); } else { $category = NULL; } if ($title && $body && $category) { require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); $query = "INSERT INTO entries (blog_id, title, date_submitted, category, body) VALUES (NULL, '$title', NOW(), '$category', '$body')"; $result = mysql_query ($query); if($result) { echo '<p>entered please check the following</p>'; echo "$title', '$body', '$category"; exit(); } else { echo '<p>there was an error</p>'; } } else { echo '<p>there was an error</p>'; } } echo '</form>'; ?> <?php include ('footer.inc'); ?> I realise the code is probably a little antiquated ( im open to suggestions on how to improve it!) but it does do the job of validating my form and then inputting the data in to a database. Its my first script! Anyways the problem im having is that if you are successful the browser re-loads the page with the correct things echoed back but the footer include is missing, it doesnt display.could anyone tell me why?

jumpenjuhosaphat Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 What is in the "header.inc" file? Could you submit that file too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 It is because you have exited the script, which is basically saying "stop here please!":[code]<?php if($result) { echo '<p>entered please check the following</p>'; echo "$title', '$body', '$category"; exit(); }?>[/code]So:[code] <?php include ('header.inc'); ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <p>title <input type="text" name="title" size="10" maxlength="20" value="" /></p> <p>body<textarea name="body" rows="10" columns="50"></textarea></p> <p>category</p><select name="category"> <option value="fish">fiah</option> <option value="fish"></option> </select> <div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></div> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { if(isset($_POST['title'])) { $title = ($_POST['title']); } else { $title = NULL; } if(isset($_POST['body'])) { $body = ($_POST['body']); } else { $body = NULL; } if(isset($_POST['category'])) { $category = ($_POST['category']); } else { $category = NULL; } if ($title && $body && $category) { require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); $query = "INSERT INTO entries (blog_id, title, date_submitted, category, body) VALUES (NULL, '$title', NOW(), '$category', '$body')"; $result = mysql_query ($query); if($result) { echo '<p>entered please check the following</p>'; echo "$title', '$body', '$category"; } else { echo '<p>there was an error</p>'; } } else { echo '<p>there was an error</p>'; } } echo '</form>'; include ('footer.inc');?>[/code]AHHH The code tags are all messing up![i]EDIT2: I would suggest renaming your title (has nothing to do with redirecting ;))[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
