But my problem is that when I click submit, the outputpage.php does not show anything...
Please, your help is much appreciated.
<?php
$content = $_POST[elm1];
echo $content
?>
It's erroring due to the missing semicolon after content. Also, the unquoted index may kick undesired warnings, sometimes it will interpret it as a constant ("undefined constant "elm1", presuming 'elm1'). If your server is not reporting errors (which is good) you can find such warnings and errors in your error log.
Even so, it lacks error checking, which will lead to the problem.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['elm1'])) {
$content = $_POST['elm1'];
echo "<p>$content</p>";
}
else { echo "<p>The element was not set!</p>"; }
?>
The above does two things: obviously tells you if it's not set. If it **is** set but is an empty value, you can view source and will see <p></p>.
If it still doesn't work, maybe your JS is doing something to the form. See if anything at all is coming in:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['elm1'])) {
$content = $_POST['elm1'];
echo "<p>$content</p>";
}
else {
echo "<p>The element was not set!</p>";
echo "<p>Request:</p>";
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) {
echo "<p>k $key: v: $value</p>";
}
}
?>
Thanks.
But, I don't understand what the difference is?
Look closely, I gave you a hint:
It's erroring due to the missing semicolon after content.
PHP syntax error. Or, maybe, in addition, the unquoted index I mentioned.
Also what does "isset" do?
Checks if a value was set. The set value may be an empty string, and would pass empty($value), but it does not pass a nonexistent or null value. If errors are enabled, and some value is not set, it will issue a warning, like
undefined index "elm1" in yourscript.php on line 2
They are horridly ugly on a live site. So always, always, always check if the value is set before arbitrarily "expecting" it to be there. This is what I meant by error checking.
Edit: I wanted to make sure null fails on isset. It does.
<?php
header("content-type:text/html");
$thisthing = null;
echo (isset($thisthing))?'Null but set':'not set';
?>
Note to self: don't ever use $this anywhere but within a class object . . . :-P
