Why are my form variables not passing through POST?
forms, input, php, set, variables
Solution
In your html code, you have missed `=` for `name`
name="username"
Instead of `name"username"`
Here's your fixed code.
<input type="text" name="username" value="" placeholder="User Name"> <br />
<input type="password" name="password" value="" placeholder="Password"> <br />
<input type="password" name="passwordConfirm" value="" placeholder="Confirm Password"> <br />
<!-- ?type email or type text -->
<input type="email" name="email" value="" placeholder="Email" autofocus> <br />
Problem
I am sending form data through POST, but the corresponding POST variables are not set, and do not. Also, when I store POST data into local PHP variables, I seem to be unable to use those variables. (Once I resolve the first issue, I have a feeling I will be able to user the variables too.) My error messages output by the second page (see below) is: ``` Notice: Undefined variable: postUsername in (...somepath)\scripts\create-member.php on line 10 ``` (Form page) : ``` <form action="scripts/create-member.php" method="POST"> <input type="text" name"username" value="" placeholder="User Name"> <br /> <input type="password" name"password" value="" placeholder="Password"> <br /> <input type="password" name"passwordConfirm" value="" placeholder="Confirm Password"> <br /> <!-- ?type email or type text --> <input type="email" name"email" value="" placeholder="Email" autofocus> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submitRegistration" value="Register!"> </form> ``` (Second page) scripts\create-member.php: ``` <?php //!proper way to declare variables obtained from POST. // Data from form "register.php" if ( isset($_POST['username']) ) { $postUsername = $_POST['username']; } echo $postUsername; // <-- this is line 10 ``` ?> I've tried using isset() for the submit button too, but that didn't solve the problem. I've simplified the code by a lot here, and ran it testing it too.
