Question

PHP

I am taking a Web Development class and brand new to PHP

I am running a WAMP server on my local machine

When I run my code from my WAMP server everything runs fine, but when I upload my code to the school's server I run into a problem:

the if(isset($_POST['submit']){

//run code

}

else{

echo "uh oh something went wrong";

}

the else portion is being ran. any ideas what can be wrong? i know these are very vague since i am not providing the actual code

The problem could be this:-

=>Name the submit button (<input type="submit" name="submit" ... />)

Maybe you forgot to give your submit <input> a name, so it is not available using $_POST['submit'] -

<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" /></p>

=>Remember that keys in the $_POST superglobal only appear for named input elements. So, unless the element has the name attribute, it won't come through to $_POST (or $_GET/$_REQUEST)

What you're checking is, if(isset($_POST['submit'])) but if there's no variable name called "submit" it won't detect it.

=>Also, you are missing one closing parenthesis here " if(isset($_POST['submit']){ " try correcting it to "if(isset($_POST['submit'])){".
