RE: [PHP] Problem with the post variables.

ooooooops .. my mistake .. Usually I check thing before I post, forget it once .. that's how I make mistakes.. Anyways, I still am pretty sure setting enctype to multipart/form-data was the problem.. 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' is indeed the correct enctype for just posting forms .. (checked it at www.handleidinghtml.nl, interesting for the fellow dutchmen over here ;)) -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Chris Shiflett [mailto:shiflett@php.net] Verzonden: maandag 18 augustus 2003 19:09 Aan: Wouter van Vliet; Klaus_Kaiser_Apolinario; php-general@lists.php.net Onderwerp: RE: [PHP] Problem with the post variables. --- Wouter van Vliet <wouter@esctoday.com> wrote: > The problem is probably in the 'enctype="multipart/form-data"'. > You should only use this enctype if you're gonna upload a file > through the form. If not, just leave it away or use text/plain Posted data isn't text/plain, it's something like application/x-www-form-urlencoded. For the original poster, find a simple example and build on that rather than trying to learn too many things at once. This might be a good start: <form method="post"> <input type="text" name="foo" /><br /> <input type="submit" /> </form> <p>$_POST array:</p> <pre> <? print_r($_POST); ?> </pre> Hope that helps.
