problem with isset($_POST['submit'])

[backups2007]

I tried using the isset() function in the system that I am developing. But for some reason, it just doesn't work. I've checked my code over and over but it idn't seem to have any error.

i used something like this:
[PHP]
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
include("insert _form.php");
}
[/PHP]

please help. it's really urgent. thanks in advance.

Hi,

Have you checked the form from where your request is coming ..does it have action = "post" or is it "get"? Also check the name of the submit button.. is it exactly the same as what you have put in isset()? Have you said <input type = "submit" name = "submit"> ? Check these things once again.. Also, try putting an echo -statement in your if-condition... just to be sure whether the control is coming inside if or not..

it uses action="post".

And the button connected to the script is an input type button with a validation script.

Hi,

First of all, I have mistakenly written action = "post", its method = "post" ... sorry.. my bad!

Coming to what you are saying.. well... I am no expert, but normally if you have only one submit-button in your form then it's input type is generally given 'submit' ..atleast from what I have seen.. try making the input type as 'submit' and see.. and let us know if it works!

Yeh, i had this problem. If it's just a 'button' with then uses a javascript .submit() it won't be recognised in the isset.

I'm not sure what the solution is either.
