[SOLVED] Form Data not Submitting as either Get ot Post

audiokiwi · June 20, 2007

I have a form at the page http://audiokiwi.com/insertAlbum.php. No matter if the form is set to GET or POST, neither gets submitted (Under Firefox, IE, or Opera).

Here is the output of LiveHTTPHeaders for POST:

The values of $_REQUEST $_POST and $_GET are all empty arrays.

Does anyone know what's going on?

I changed the source code a little to help debugging. At the end of the file, you'll see a comment with the contents of $_REQUEST, $_POST, & $_GET as reported by print_r().

KrisNz · June 22, 2007

none of your form elements have name attributes. $_POST doesn't look at the id attribute.

audiokiwi · June 22, 2007

Duh. HTML Tidy changed all the names to ids and I didn't notice. Thanks!
