[PHP] Variable not passed twixt pages..

2003-07-18 Thread Chris Blake
Greetings learned PHP(eople),

Scenario : User fills in text box, pushes Submit and textbox data gets
passed to MySQL database..

=
The code from the HTML page :

form action=savemail.php method=GET target=main
input type=text class=mailinput name=mailaddress value=Your
Email Address
==

The code from savemail.php :

?php
  $result = @mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'user', 'pass'); 
  $query = insert into email values (' . $_REQUEST['mailaddress']
. ');
   //Error stuff-
  $ResSaveMail = mysql_query($query);
  if (!$ResSaveMail)
   {
  echo(PError performing query:  . mysql_error() . /P);
  echo(Your email has not been saved to the Delta Database.);
  exit();
   }
//
?
===

THe problem :
The variable 'mailaddress' is not getting passed to savemail.php

echo $_REQUEST['mailaddress'] reveals blank

On another programmers advice I tried using POST in my form, but that
don`t work either..

The database is getting populated with blank values...is my problem in
the php code somewhere..I been playing with this for a while now and no
joy has yet surfaced..

Any ideas greatly appreciated...

Thanks to all who contributed, I managed to get it to work using just
$mailaddress.

Much appreciated.
