Form not submitting

[xtremer360]

Issue I'm having is located at option 1 where the Add New Match Type form is shown. Upon filling out the form and attempting to insert the form results into the database but it doesn't, however the form is loaded via ajax and I don't know what I have to do to get it to insert into the database still.

<?php
{
 print "<script src=\"/jscripts/scriptaculous/prototype.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>\n";
 print "<script src=\"/jscripts/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></script>\n";
 print "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"./jscripts/ajax.js\"></script>\n"; 
}
?>
<?php
$option = $_GET['option'];
  
if ($option == 0 )
{ 
 print '<h1 class="backstage">Match Type Management</h1><br />';
 print "<h2 class=backstage>Match Types :: <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"ajaxpage('backstage_libs/matchtypes.php?option=1', 'content'); return false;\">Add New</a></h2><br />";
 print '<table width="100%" class="table1">';
 print '<tr class="rowheading">';
 print '<td>&nbsp;</td>';
 print '<td>Name</td>';
 print '</tr>';
 $query = "SELECT * FROM efed_list_matchtypes";
 $result = mysql_query ( $query ); 
 if ($result) 
 {
  $i = 0;
  while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array ( $result, MYSQL_ASSOC ) ) 
  {
  $sClass = 'row2';
  if ($i ++ & 1) 
   {
    $sClass = 'row1';
   }
   printf ( "<tr class=\"%s\">", $sClass );
   print "<td valign=\"top\" align=center width=35><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"ajaxpage('backstage_libs/matchtypes.php?option=2', 'content'); return false;\">Edit</a></td>";
   printf ( "<td valign=\"top\">%s</td>", $row [matchtype] );
   print '</tr>';
   }
    print '</table>';
  }else
  {
  print '<span>There are no match types.</span><br />';
  }
  print '<br />';
  returnmain();
  
} elseif ( $option == 1)

1) Not sure about your context or how the ajaxpage(...) method works, but if this script is calling itself and ajaxpage takes a relative path, you probably want to remove the 'backstage_libs/' part because it would likely be looking in the backstage_libs/backstage_libs folder.

2) What output are you getting, assuming 1) was not the problem?

"The match type has been added."
or
"Could not add the entry because: ... The query was ..."?

If there is a SQL exception being thrown it appears that your code should display the error -- if so, what is that error message.

3) This probably won't fix your problem, but you should format your <input ...> tags like <input ... />

1. The ajaxpage uses ajax to call links into a certain div. And after click on Add New it loads the form into the same div. I can't remove backstage_libs folder because then it wouldn't call the form.

2. I'm not getting any error message all it does is loads the same backstage.php file that is in the form action tag.
