[PHP] Passing text info using $PHP_SELF

2002-12-15 Thread Lightfirst 
I am using PHP and MySql and wanted to know if it possible to pass the value
inserted in a text box back to the page using PHP_SELF. Bellow is the
snipped of code. The part that is not working is q=input. Any ideas?

Thanks.



while($query_data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$id = $query_data [q_id];

$q = $query_data [question];

$a = $query_data [answer];

echo TR\n;

echo TD WIDTH=\5%\ ALIGN=\CENTER\$id/TD\n;

echo TD WIDTH=\70%\ ALIGN=\CENTER\$q/TD\n;

echo TD WIDTH=\15%\ ALIGN=\CENTER\input type=\text\
name=\textfield\ value=$a/TD\n;

echo TD WIDTH=\10%\ ALIGN=\CENTER\

form name=\update\ method=\post\
action=\$PHP_SELF?action=changeid=$idq=input\

input type=\submit\ name=\input\ value=\Update\

Rather than using forms to pass information to a script you should
consider using sessions instead.

In any case if you are going to use forms instead of appending the
information to the form action use the input type=hidden field.

input type=hidden name=action value=change

This keeps your form action clean and it also allows you to cleanly use
POST instead of GET.

Most certainly register_globals is off in your php.ini file. Try using
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of $PHP_SELF.
