Weird problem with posting

[Mutley]

When I submit a form it loads the page again but using ISSET processes the form separately.

 

Now, I have 4 queries, 2 for one event, and 2 for another:

 

if(isset($_GET['race_id_ready']) && $_POST['player1'] || $_POST['player2'] == NULL) {
	$style = $_POST['style'];
	$position = $_GET['p'];
	if($position == '1') {
// Update style:
	$sql1  = "UPDATE `races` SET style1 = '$style' WHERE race_id = '$race_id' LIMIT 1";
	mysql_query($sql1);
// Update user_id:			
	$sql2  = "UPDATE `races` SET player1 = '$user_id' WHERE race_id = '$race_id' LIMIT 1";
	mysql_query($sql2);
	}

	if($position == '2') {
// Update style:
	$sql3  = "UPDATE `races` SET style2 = '$style1' WHERE race_id = '$race_id' LIMIT 1";
	mysql_query($sql3);
// Update user_id:			
	$sql4  = "UPDATE `races` SET player2 = '$user_id' WHERE race_id = '$race_id' LIMIT 1";
	mysql_query($sql4);
	}

 

 

The if($position == '1')..... all works fine.

 

Now with

 

if($position == '2')...... the query to update the $user_id is fine but it won't update the style at all and I have no idea why. It doesn't update the style2 field with that variable but if I put a number, like '1' it will update it fine.

 

Is the $_POST invalid for the 2nd query or something?

 

Thanks in advance.

	if($position == '2') {
// Update style:
	$sql3  = "UPDATE `races` SET style2 = '$style1' WHERE race_id = '$race_id' LIMIT 1";

 

Where does $style1 get set?

That is supposed to be $style (I was testing if the varible works if different to the first event). So it is supposed to be $style but still does not work.

UPDATE `races` SET style2 = '' WHERE race_id = '1'

 

That's what I get once echoed.

Than the issue lies within the $_POST['style']. Without the form or how the data is gathered it is hard to diagnose.
