asinger777 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Great book. In the form examples throughout the book you recommend combining the form and validation and checking to see if the form has been submitted by using - if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') When I try that I get error messages telling me that the variables haven't been defined yet. That's because the form hasn't been submitted yet! I thought you said that the server function would just be empty if there was nothing to request (ie. before submission)? Am I missing something?

Jonathon Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi Arnie, What code are you actually running please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleySan Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Like Jonathon said, it's hard to know without seeing more code, but unless a form is properly submitted, the if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') statement you provided will always evaluate to false.

Larry Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I'd like to see the actual error message and the details about the installation. $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] should always be set, because the page is being requested somehow (either via GET or POST).
