textbox input

[thehubclick]

<INPUT TYPE = "Text" VALUE ="0"
ID = "username2" NAME = "username2">

<?php
$value1 =  $_POST['username2'];
$nine=$value1;

$codx =$characters[$nine]->name;
?>

Im tring to get '0' in username2 inputbox

readit in php $nine

$codx =$characters[$nine]->name;

as you can see in my <?php code above
I cant get the 0 from this inputbox

It only works like this

<?php
$nine='0'
$codx =$characters[$nine]->name;
?>

What i need is to get the users
input. from a textbox on my page
called username2
they would enter between 0 and 8
as you can see its set to 0 on my
textbox, the 0 - 8 is the
character location
$characters[$nine]

the $nine will hold the number
between 0 - 8
My php code i cant read my texbox
input.

How do I read the user input
into my

my textbox post pulls the input

$nine =  $_POST['username2'];
$codx =$characters[$nine]->name;

i noticed it wouldn't work

it only works this way

$nine='0';
$codx =$characters[$nine]->name;

Let me know how to read in user input
from my username2 textbox.
Thanks in advance

sorry to repeat i needed to explain
so you can see my error.

First please use the code icon (<>) for your PHP and select PHP or HTML for that code. It makes your code easier to read. Did you echo $value1 to make sure it is what you expect? As a guess, since you don't show that code, I suspect the problem is with the array $characters. Did you  var_dump that to make sure it is correct?

What is the form method of the form that contains your username2 input? Is it POST?

[thehubclick]

Sorry. For delay I m using POST.. To get 0 - 8 im using input username2 lets say i put 0 in username2 input when I click post i need to grab that 0 and pass it to my $charactors[$nine]->name

Its not reading my string $nine from my input box username2. 

Like i wrote earlier ^^^ it will only work this

(<

 

 

 

Then

	$nine='0';
$codx =$characters[$nine]->name;
	

When i write in javascript working with the input box i can read it into a string but  not in Php programming.

I m still learning php im sure this isnt that  hard to do.

Hope any experts in php here can see my issue.

 

Hope my code displays right.

 

About making code easy to read is it < code >  or (<  code. >) ill try both my bad if this dont work.

(<

	<form action="" method="post">
	<input disabled="disabled" style="background-color:white; color: white" type="text" name="subject" id="subject" size="1" style="display:none" value="1">
	<hr>
Password:
<br><input style="background-color:black; color: white" type="password" name="text_one" value="0923532">
	<button type="submit" name="ok">OK</button>
	
dec19/
<INPUT TYPE = "Text" VALUE =""
ID = "username2" NAME = "username2">
	</form>

It's

(but without the spaces) or just use the <> button on the toolbar

Oh by the way im using my android phone to post and code i dont see the <> button icon . It might be on the desktop and not my android phone.

Are you checking if data has actually been POSTed

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    $nine =  $_POST['username2'];
    $codx = $characters[$nine]->name;
}
else {
    echo "NO DATA!";
}
