Visibility of variables?

[ibexy]

I have declared some variables global but still cant get them to have values.

I am using a text box + submit button and I want values to transfer from a table into these varibles and execute on click of the button. Any help?

I am working in joomla. What happens here is that I am retrieving values from a atble and then assingning a text box and and a button to each line. As each line is treived, I assigne the values to the variable declared global (see green shaded area). Later, I try to store these values in a table in the $_POST action for the buttons (See brown shaed areas). Its working fine. My problem is that nothing is being stored.

 

(I have edited the program to make it shorter)

 

<?

 

global $database, $ueConfig, $my, $mosConfig_lang, $mainframe, $mosConfig_live_site, $_SERVER, $Itemid, $m_id,$m_description,$m_price;

 

$gjp_path = $mosConfig_absolute_path.'/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_groupjivetab';

 

 

$absolute_path = $mainframe->getCfg('absolute_path');

 

 

 

// Function buystuff

 

if(isset($_POST['txtbuy'])){

 

  $qty_bought=$_POST['txtbuy'];

 

 

$query = "INSERT INTO #__joe_bought_items SET item_id='$m_id',description='$m_description', qty='$qty_bought',price= '$m_price', buyer_id='$my->id'";

 

$database->setQuery( $query );

$database->query() or die( $database->stderr() );

 

 

}

 

//  End Buy Stuff
