dumdumsareyum Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I'm very new to php and I'm having trouble getting values from a form. The form has 3 text fields, 4 checkboxes and 4 radio buttons, and then the script is supposed to simply display all the values in the $_POST array after submitted. The problem I'm having is that, no matter what order I put the elements of the form in, the first value submitted is not displayed (i.e. if i put the text fields first, the first text field value is not reported, if the checkboxes are first then the first checkbox will not have a value displayed. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53110-solved-form-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Without seeing any code .... you do know that the beginning element of an array is element[0] not element[1], right?
