HTML Form POST is null

forms, html, php, post

Solution

This code is working. You need to add some condition, that checks, if `$username` is posted or not.

Something like that:

if(count($_POST)){
    $username ='';
    if(isset($_POST['user'])){
        $username = $_POST['user'];
    if ($username==null || !$username)
         echo 'username is null';
     echo strlen($username);
     echo $username;
   }

 }

Problem

so I'm trying to simply send one field of data from a form to a php file. Below is my form in a table. I also posted my php code. It keeps returning that $username is null. Ive tried post/get and it doesn't seem to matter. HTML: ``` <form action='http://k9minecraft.tk/scripts/adduser.php' method='POST'> <table> <tr> <td>First Name:</td> <td><input type='text' id='first'></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Last Name:</td> <td><input type='text' id='last'></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email:</td> <td><input type='text' id='email'></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Minecraft Name:</td> <td><input type='text' name='user'></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type='submit' value='Send'></td> <td><input type='reset' value='Reset'></td> </tr> </table> </form> ``` PHP: ``` <?php print_r($_POST); if (isset($_POST['user'])) { $username = $_POST['user']; echo $username; echo 'username is not null'; } ?> ```
