corbin Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 $top_2_ratio=$_POST['top_2_ratio"]; You can choose between " and ' (I personally prefer '), but I don't know if you can mix them like that x.x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 no, you can't mix them like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark22horse Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 K cheers, that cleared that problem up. However when I update the name and nickname get wiped, even though something is there when I try to update them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSkyIS Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 you mean something is in the form fields? check the names of your form fields, print_r($_POST) to see if they are coming over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
