form is not working

[FromBelgium]

My host changed servers and now a simple HTML form is not working! The variables are not given to the next page. What could be a possible cause?

<form name=detail method=post action=confirm-free.php>
<input name=name type=text id=name value=>

Check if they've still got PHP working. Also clean up your HTML. Can you post some code to help sort this out?

[RonPK]

One possible cause: different settings for PHP's

register_globals

[nl2.php.net].

This code worked on previous sever:

<?php
echo"
<form name=form1 method=post action=confirm.php>
<input name=quantity type=text id=quantity value=\"".$quantity."\" size=1>
</form>";
?>

the variable $quality will become empty on confirm.php

Did you view the source when the form page is displayed to verify that $quantity is actually being set?

[ramoneguru]

Try this:
<?php
echo '<form name="form1" method="POST" action="confirm.php">' . "\n";
echo '<input name="quantity" type="text" id="quantity" value='.$quantity.' size="1">' . "\n";
echo '</form>' . "\n";
?>

Appending the \n to the end of the statement just formats the html a little more nice and its an easy add on w/ a regex.

If I look at the source the parameters are empty.

If I add the code <?php echo $quantity;?> it prints nothing. The value gets empty.

[jatar_k]

what if you try

<?php echo $_POST['quantity'];?>

[eelixduppy]

<?php echo [b]$_POST['quantity'][/b];?> 

Try this :)

We are getting closer:

<?php echo $_POST['quantity'];?> Prints correct value!
<?php echo $quantity;?> Prints nothing!

Why is $quantity empty?

[FromBelgium]

Thanks all! I fixed the problem by defining each variables:

$variable=$_POST['variable']

>>Why is $quantity empty?

Refer to RonPK's post :)

The good news is your new server has register_globals turned off. Read more about security issues related to this setting here [php.net].
