 |
|
Is abyss configured to use only the get action in forms or something? I'm trying to create a script in php and i tried to use the post action. however it's behaving as the get function! any ideas?
the form is as follows:
| Code: | <form>
<h1>LOG IN</h1>
<form method="POST" action="administrator2.php">
<p><strong>Username:</strong><br>
<input type="text" name="username"></p>
<p><strong>Password:</strong><br>
<input type="password" name="password"></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"></p>
</form> |
the next page verifies that the form was filled out:
| Code: | //check for required fields from the form
if ((!$_POST[username]) || (!$_POST[password])) {
echo "something was missing. please try again";
exit; |
anyone notice anything?

recce,
Abyss knows how to deal with GET and POST requests (the best example is this forum which is hosted on Abyss and uses POST requests). Your PHP code seems to be the problem.
Try changing your POST action with a file containing this code:
| Code: |
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
|
to check what POST variables are actually passed to your script.

Thanks for the help.... Rule # 1 of webcode troubleshooting: CHECK SYNTAX.... 1 quotation mark was throwing the whole script out of wack.....
