Array(['query'])


Matthew Rotherham

Recommended Posts

When I submit the form, I get... Array(['query']) has been recorded!

When I check the database, nothing has been recorded.

The code is...

<form method="POST" action="index.php">
<input type="text name="query">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?
$query = "$_POST(['query'])";
include("connect.php");
$sql = "INSERT INTO `User` (`name`) VALUES ('$query')";
mysql_query($sql);
mysql_close();
echo "$query has been recorded!";
?>

What is the problem, please?

Try this...
[code]<?
if ($_POST['submit']) {
  $query = $_POST(['query']);
  include("connect.php");
  $sql = "INSERT INTO `User` (`name`) VALUES ('$query')";
  mysql_query($sql);
  mysql_close();
  echo "$query has been recorded!";
}
?>
<form method="POST" action="index.php">
<input type="text" name="query">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>
[/code]
AllI did was move the PHP to the start of the file, add a quote into your HTML section and remove the quotes around the $_POST bit. Then I surrounded the lot with an if() statement to only run the code if the submit button was pressed.

I did as exactly as you said, and I got this...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in /home/www/shaolinwars.awardspace.com/index.php on line 3

Slight oversight - change this line:

$query = $_POST(['query']);

to this:

$query = $_POST['query'];
[/quote]

Works like a charm! Thanks.

Use that to stop empty fields being entered.
