This may be an easy fix, but I can't get my head around it .
Basically I've remade my blog using a database and php rather than wordpress. I want my site to show the most recent post first, then i'm using PhP postback to alter it
So far it works, but i can't figure out a way for it to automatically go to the most recent one but then change after the postback.
<?php
$inId = $data[0];
//if (!empty($inId))
//{
//}
//else
//{
//$inId = $_POST['ID'];
//}
include 'Includes.php';
$blogPosts = GetBlogPosts($inId);
foreach ($blogPosts as $post)
{
echo "<div class='post'>";
echo "<h3>" . $post->title . "</h3>";
echo "<p2>" . $post->post . "</p2>";
echo "<span class='footer'>Posted By: " . $post->Author . " Posted On: " . $post- >datePosted . "</span>";
}
echo '<form name="myForm" action="Index.php" onsubmit="return validateFormStrings()" method="post">';
echo'<select name ="ID">';
$query4 = "SELECT * FROM Blogs ORDER BY ID ";
$result = mysql_query($query4);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo '<option value="'.$row['ID'].'">'.$row['Title'].'</option>';
echo '<br>';
}
echo'</select>';
echo '<input type="submit" value="Retrieve Posts">';
echo '<a href="Index.Php" ></a>';
echo '</form>';
?>
As you see i tried to fiddle with !empty and things but that's not really what im trying to do. If i'm unclear let me know.
I almost need something like " if ( button !pressed) then its data[0] else its the postback
Thanks in advance
I found out how to do it using the isset() function.
if (isset($_POST['submit1']))
{
$inId = $_POST['ID'];
}
else
{
$inId = $data[0];
}
This checks if the submit button has doe the postback or not. Works a treat.
Gonna have a go at trying it with Ajax so I don't need the button at all ^^
