This is my form, that is dynamically generated:
<form action='index.php?direction=saveUserPreferences' method='post'>
<label>Office space<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='1' id='1'></label>
<label>Grants<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='2' id='2' checked></label>
<label>Loans<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='3' id='3'></label>
<label>Events<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='4' id='4' checked></label>
<label>Connecting<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='5' id='5' checked></label>
<label>Office administration<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='6' id='6' checked></label>
<label>TAX<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='7' id='7' checked></label>
<label>Self employment<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='8' id='8' checked></label>
<label>Start up<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='9' id='9' checked></label>
<label>Banks<input type='checkbox' name='userInterest[]' value='10' id='10' checked></label>
<input type='text' name='name' id='name'/>
<input type='submit' name='sendData' value='Save'/>
Form points to controller function:
public function saveUserPreferences() {
var_dump($_POST);
}
I tried checking whether post is set etc, and i cannot get array from the post.
I have also login form, that points to the same controller and another function, and it works fine. So i know controller file can and do receive post values.
But for some strange reason, for this particular form i cannot get any values. I have looked up another questions and answers, but cannot get this thing to work.I am also familiar with: PHP tutorial about the forms
Following that solution i get unidentified index error. Is there something i miss?
Thanks in advance for any tips and tricks ;)
08 03 2015 Hey once again. I have no idea if that helps someone by i would like to give an update of what is happening. As you know, i would get nothing from the page, that is when i would echo values in php file, there would be nothing. Yet, in the firebug and chrome developer tools (in the headers and response part of network section) i was able to see actual response. So what i did is this: created a demo table in database, and tried to insert values that i should see from the form into database. And weirdly enough, it did worked. So, don't ask me how is it possible, since i have no idea, yet. So i decided to work based on the responses from developer tools and firebug. And current path of my data is this. View->Controller->Model (post data to array variable) -> dao class->database. Ok, thanks all for viewing and commenting on that one. Thanks
Is there a redirect before reaching the controller? POST data does only exist for the next request so if you submit to /redirect.php that takes you to /controller.php, $_POST would be empty.
Also your checkboxes doesn't seem right to me. A normal checkbox is like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike"> I have a bike
So the name is what the checkbox "is about", and the value it's own unique value. The [] is only for select boxes.
