My submit form doesnt work

[turbocueca]

I'm learning to do php forms, and I'm testing in this page: [a href=\"http://infocenter.awardspace.com/submit.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://infocenter.awardspace.com/submit.php[/a] , it should return the value written on the "Game Name" textbox when clicking OK but it doesn't.


submit.php:

[code]<td width="111"><strong>Game Name:* </strong></td>
    <td width="319"><form id="form3" name="form3" method="post" action="">
      <label>
        </label>
      <input name="textfield3" type="text" size="53" maxlength="45" />
    </form>    </td>

(...)

<form id="form6" name="form6" method="post" action="insert.php">
  <label></label>
  <div align="center">
    <p>
      <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="OK" />
    </p>
    <p><a href="index.php">Back</a></p>
  </div>
</form>
[/code]

insert.php:

[code]<?php    echo $_POST['textfield3']; ?>[/code]

From your code, you have two different forms -- one with the textbox and the other with a submit button -- ie form3 and form6. You need to join them.

you have 2 forms with on submit try this

[code]

<td width="111"><strong>Game Name:* </strong></td>
    <td width="319"><form id="form3" name="form3" method="post" action="insert.php">
      <label>
        </label>
      <input name="textfield3" type="text" size="53" maxlength="45" />
    </form>    </td>

(...)


  <label></label>
  <div align="center">
    <p>
      <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="OK" />
    </p>
    <p><a href="index.php">Back</a></p>
  </div>
