    The Feedback Form

    in PHP for the Web: Visual QuickStart Guide (3rd Edition)

    Posted

    Ah! Yes, that was it! I feel silly now! Works great! Thanks.

     

    Thats the only problem I can see with your code - when you fixed it did you just press refresh in the browser? If so then you're just resubmitting the old POST data which will contain $_POST['email'] rather then the new $_POST['name']. Access the page fresh i.e. type the URL in again and hit enter. Then resubmit the details and it should work... unless I'm missing something.

    The Feedback Form

    in PHP for the Web: Visual QuickStart Guide (3rd Edition)

    Posted

    I've been working on building the feedback form as detailed in chapter 3. However, upon submitting the feedback form, the user's name does not appear. For example, in the handle_form.php, it comes up:

     

    "Thank you, Ms. , for your comments.

     

    You stated that you found this example to be 'excellent' and added:

    Great job!"

     

    The person's name is missing. I have copied my code below. Can you let me know if I'm overlooking something and why it doesn't include the person's name?
