[SOLVED] POST not working.

[EagleAmerican]

I just switch hosting and now my search won't work. It uses POST to post the search to my execute_search.php page. I think that this value in php.ini is causeing the problem: max_input_time. It is set to 30.. is that my problem? My previous host had that at -1.

 

Thanks,

No.

if you could show us the script quickly we could help you.

What could be causing this then? It says that nothing was posted when stuff was posted.

I'm pretty sure the code has nothing to do with it because it works on the other host but not on the new one.. but here it is:

 

search.php

 

<form method="post" action="execute_search.php">
<table width=90% align=center>
<tr><td>Search for Parasite:</td><td><input type="text" name="search" size="60" maxlength="255"></td></tr>
<td></td><td><input type="submit"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

 

execute_search.php (I get the message "Please go back and enter something to search for." no matter what. Even if I enter a search.

 

<?php

if ($search) // perform search only if a string was entered.
{

$dbcnx = @mysql_connect('', '', '');
if (!$dbcnx) {
   exit('<p>Unable to connect to the ' .
       'database server at this time.</p>');
}

$srch="%".$search."%";
$query = "select * from parasite WHERE parasitename LIKE '$srch'";

$result = mysql_db_query("adaarm_db", $query);

if ($result)
{
echo "Search Results:<br><br>";
echo "<table width=90% align=center border=1><tr>
<td align=center>Name</td>
<td align=center>From</td>
<td align=center>Genre</td>
</tr>";

while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // Begin while
$id = $r["id"];
$name = $r["parasitename"];
$from = $r["parasitefrom"];
$genre = $r["parasitegenre"];
echo "<tr>
<td><a href=view.php?id=$id>$name</a></td>
<td>$from</td>
<td>$genre</td></tr>";
} // end while
echo "</table>";
} else { echo "Error 8574"; }
} else {
echo "Please go back and enter something to search for.";
}

?>

Looks like they have register_globals turned off. You might be able to turn it on in your control panel but you'd be better off rewriting  your script to work without globals. eg $search should be $_POST['search'];

Thanks!

Try extract($_POST);  then you can use your post
