[SOLVED] my $_POST won't show up once submited

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root" , "password") or die (mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("tutorial1") or die (mysql_error());


$personaldata = array("name" => $_POST['name'], "age" => $_POST['age'], "sex" => $_POST['sex']);

mysql_query("INSERT INTO personalinfo (name, age, sex) VALUES('$personaldata[name]', '$personaldata[age]', '$personaldata[sex]')") or die(mysql_error());

echo "You've submited this information. <br> name:" .$_POST['name']. "<br> Age:" .$_POST['age']. "<br> Sex: " .$_POST['sex'];

?>

 

for some reason only the Sex value is record, the rest is not, and does not even show up in the echo! maybe the varchar is not correct or something. Keep in my that the Sex value is a select menu where the others are text fields.

I don't get an error, it just does not show.

The problem is that the names of the fields that are not showing up are not "name" and "age" but "textfield" and "textfield22". Either change the PHP code to match the form or change the form to match the PHP code.

  <p>Name: 
    <input type="name" name="textfield">
    <br>
    Age: 
    <input type="age" name="textfield22">

<!-- Should be: -->

<input name="name" type="text" size=30>
<input name="age" type="text" size=3>

 

I changed the code, and this still has the same problem.

the error was because of this quote

if i change the array to simpele $_POST[bLABLA] it has the same error

 

the reason for the

echo taith

 

was its quicker to say echo taith than

a) repeat what you said

b) quicker than typing

  • agree's with taith
  • yeah what taith said
  • did you even attempt what taith said

c) its shorter that typing print(taith);

 

LOL
