Bug description: variables from form input not available to functions
this seems to me like a bug that someone would have noticed before i, but never the less. (feel free
to flame me if this is my error.) this is part of a script that handles form input from a file
called timeclock.html:
function printenv() {
echo $employee, "<br>\n";
echo $passwd, "<br>\n";
echo $punchin, "<br>\n";
echo $punchout, "<br>\n";
echo $task, "<br>\n";
echo $task_other, "<br>\n";
}
printenv{}
it outputs this:
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
i have reproduced this with simpler forms, and i am sure all variable names match. this works when
run as:
echo $employee, "<br>\n";
echo $passwd, "<br>\n";
echo $punchin, "<br>\n";
echo $punchout, "<br>\n";
echo $task, "<br>\n";
echo $task_other, "<br>\n";
eg, not from a function. if it helps any, $employee and $task are drop-down boxes, $passwd is a
password field, $punchin and $punchout are radio buttons, and $task_other is plain text field. does
it seem weird to anyone else that the Form Interperter portion of php/fi doesnt support functions?
php is compiled with mysql as an apache module, with apache being compiled with mod_speling and
mod_mime_magic. the form in question can be glimpsed at on cblood.tiac.net. (forgive speed, its a
static ip but a 28.8 line.)
