Re: [PHP] weird behavior with a form
If they didn't click on the submit button, then they didn't click on the
submit button, and it's not set by the browser.
Check if the variable you care about inserting is set instead.

Subject: RE: [PHP] weird behavior with a form
Perhaps a little clarification... I'm very sorry I wasn't clear in the
first place! =
The page works fine if I click on submit with the mouse. I'm curious
why it doesn't when the user presses their 'Enter' key while the text
field is focused.
They will be entering piles of info, just trying to make it more
convenient =
Thanks again,
Ben

Try using this INSERT statement:
$query = INSERT INTO genres (name) VALUES ('$name');
I subtracted one of the ;, I dont think you need it when running a
query
from php. Let's see.. what else.. hmm..
actually that's all I can see. Hopefully that does it. If not I hope
someone else answers :)

Okay... so this is sorta off topic... but the form is generated by a
script =
Anyway, for some reason, when I fill in a form on my site and press
enter,
it doesn't actually submit the form and do the processing like it is
supposed to... it should be throwing some information into the
database.
Instead, it seems to just be reloading the page.
Source is below... if anybody has any idea, I would appreciate... I
imagine I'm just doing something stupid wrong.
Thanks,
Ben

It works now = i seem to remember a thread not that long ago (maybe it was on a different list) similar to this. the conclusion was that netscape and ie (and i'm sure others as well) handle this differently, and one of them (i can't remember which) handles it differently if there is more than one button on the page. i think if the browser is ie and there is only one submit button, hitting enter also returns submit='whatever'. otherwise, no guarantees. it appears that hiddens are the way to go -- mike cullerton -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] weird behavior with a form
Submit should get set when you click the submit button... it is not used
anywhere else...
Again, it works when you click the button, just not when you press
enter...
=
I'm going to try what Richard just suggested, and I'll get back to you.

Does $submit get unset in any of your include files? Does it get set at
all? Can you acess $submit through $GLOBALS[$submit]?
