Tom, Definitely can, I re broke it and the HTML is as follows from IE's source function. Now I also noticed that I had a top most nested <form></form> tags that were not correct so I fixed them all but this is the HTML output from the non working version. I wonder if a top level <form></form> tag will corrupt any other similar tags below it.

Could you provide the HTML from the initial setup (the one that was broken)? I'm curious about what was output to the browser (since that's what dictates where the form is sent anyway) Thanks On 7/24/07, Anthony Wlodarski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Donald, Thanks for the recommendation, I tried it and it did not work. I even looked up one level to the function that calls this function and I couldn't trace back and incorrect code. I moved the code out of the function and put it in its own php file: <?php echo "<form action='./edit.php' method='post'>\n"; echo "<input type='hidden' name='id' value='".$row['id']."'>\n"; echo "<input type='hidden' name='database' value='candidate'>\n"; echo "<input type='submit' name='edit' value='Edit'>\n"; echo "<form>\n"; ?> Results: It pointed to edit.php. This is weird and mind blowing as well.

I do have references to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in the code in other places to call the script itself if certain buttons are pressed but I don't see how that could have interfered. It is blowing my mind because I thought it would be a simple thing to fix but I can't figure it out. I even moved the form echo statements to a test file on the server and it does not do this at all. > -Anthony W. > Technical Recruiter > Shulman Fleming & Partners > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 646 285 0500 x230 > > > _______________________________________________ > New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List > http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk > > NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online > http://www.nyphpcon.com > > Show Your Participation in New York PHP > http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
