When i write - if(isset($_POST['submit'])) ,it always evaluates to false.. whereas if i simply change $_POST to $_GET, it works properly.
My HTML code-
<html>
<body>
<form action="welcome.php" action="post">
<input type="text" name="username"> <br>
<input type="submit" name="send">Click me </input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
My PHP code-
<?php
$name="default";
if(isset($_POST['send'])){
$name = $_POST['username'];
}
echo $name;
?>
The output i get is "default" and not what i type in input field in the html form.. Can you tell why? Thanks in advance.
The right attribute to set the method of the request is method :
<html>
<body>
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username"> <br>
<input type="submit" name="send" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
I'll just add my comment as a community wiki answer; I don't want rep from this.
"but isset($_GET) working… why?"
Because; the method's wrong (there is none) and when it fails, it (form) defaults to a GET method.
That's what's really going on here.
