Hey people,
Something odd is happening :) I've this form on a page:
<form method=post action="\basics\quotation-add">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Author
<td><input type=text size=30 name=author_name>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>New Category
<td><input type=text size=30 name=new>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Category
<td><select name=category>
<?php
$categorias = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT category FROM quotations");
$lincat = mysql_fetch_row ($categorias);
while ($lincat != false){ //loop through the records enquanto ha linhas
$cat = $lincat[0];
echo "<option value=\"".$cat."\">".$cat ; //and place it
in the select
$lincat = mysql_fetch_row ($categorias);# pega uma linha
}
?>
</select>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Quotation
<td><textarea name=quote cols=50 rows=8></textarea>
</tr>
</table>
<center>
<input type=submit value=Add>
</center>
</form>
And then I have in quotations-add:
echo $_POST['category'];
echo $_POST['new'];
echo $_POST['author_name'];
echo $_POST['quote'];
And what I get ist:
Notice: Undefined index: category in C:\Programme\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\basics\quotation-add.php on line 85
Notice: Undefined index: new in C:\Programme\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\basics\quotation-add.php on line 86

Where the 'author_name' and 'quote' POST variables are ok, why aren't
'new' and 'category' coming?
Thanks again,
