I'm trying to create an input form. The user will input info into this form
and it will then
insert into a database.
Here is my form code:
<form id="FormName" action="version_add2.php" method="get" name="FormName">
<p>VERSION TITLE*: <input type="text" name="versiontitle" size="59"
/></p>
<p>VERSION LENGTH: <input type="text" name="versionlength" size="8" />
minutes</p>
<p>RESOLUTION: <select name="resolution" size="1">
<option selected="selected" value="1080p">1080p</option>
<option value="480p">480p</option>
</select></p>
<p>ASPECT RATIO: <select name="aspectratio" size="1">
<option value="2.76:1">2.76:1 (MGM Camera 65)</option>
<option value="1.33:1/4:3">1.33:1/4:33 (Television)</option>
</select></p>
<p>COLOR: <select name="color" size="1">
<option selected="selected" value="C">Color</option>
<option value="B">Black & White</option>
<option value="M">Color/Black & White</option>
</select></p>
<p><input type="hidden" name="var" value="<?
$var = floor($_GET['var']);
print $var;
?>" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="Add" value="Add" /></p>
Here is the code from the beginning of the response page that receives the
variables.
However, no matter what I do, nothing but the hidden value goes from one
page to the
other.
<?
$var = floor($_GET['var']);
$versiontitle = floor($_GET['versiontitle']);
$versionlength = floor($_GET['versionlength']);
$resolution = floor($_GET['resolution']);
$aspectratio = floor($_GET['aspectratio']);
$color = floor($_GET['color']);
?>
Obviously there is more to this response page. But this is all the farther
my browser gets.
What am I doing wrong here?

Hi Jeremy,
I didn't see a </form>
I had a bit of a chuckle at </p> - is that DTD 'Very Strict'? lol :)
The rest looks ok. Seems like a browser problem ie missing tag such as
</form> as the only input string being returned is the string placed into
the form by PHP.
Take out the floor() and echo the strings. Maybe you need stripslashes()
The HTML is a bit loose lol. some DTD strict and some DTD transitional. ie
the difference between <br> and <br />
<input value="<?php echo($_GET['var']); ?>">
works better for me.
Also - an easier way to transfer GET/POST vars ...
$gets = 'var|versiontitle|versionlength|resolution|aspectratio|color';
$gets = explode('|', $gets);
foreach($gets as $get)
{
$$get = floor($_GET[$get]);
}
also floor() has unexpected results. I use -
$x = 0 + $_GET['x'];
OR
$x = intval($x);
The only other possable problem I can see is method="get" - some browsers
need method="GET" but I doubt that is the problem unless you are using a
realy old browser.
OH - and this -
$color = floor($_GET['color']);
is allways going to return null or zero as the string is non numeric
Thanks, Rob.
