Having A Strange Problem

Im having a strange problem and Im sure its some thing that ive over looked. A fresh set of eyes and suggestions would be great.

Simple form to pass data to a function.

On submit the function is accessed, but the data doesnt seem to get in to the check_status()

I know the check_status is working, when i type in the data ...

PHP Code:

CODE

$checkform = "
<form method=\"post\" action=\"test.php\">
<table width=\"0%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">
<tr>
<td><strong>Messenger Service : </strong></td>
<td><select name=\"ms\">
<option selected>Select</option>
<option value=\"yim\">YIM</option>
<option value=\"msn\">MSN</option>
<option value=\"aim\">AIM</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>User ID : </strong></td>
<td><input name=\"id\" type=\"text\"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><div align=\"right\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"opi\" value=\"docheck\">
<input type=\"reset\" name=\"Reset\" value=\"Reset\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"IM Check\">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
";
if ($opi != "docheck") {
echo "$checkform";
} elseif ($opi == "docheck") {
check_status('$ms', '$id', 0);
}

If I do
PHP Code:

CODE

check_status('blah' , 'blah' 0);

Everything is fine ...... ideas?
Thanks,kvarnerexpress

I don't really see a problem but what are you trying to do here?

CODE

if ($opi != "docheck") {
echo "$checkform";
} elseif ($opi == "docheck") {
check_status('$ms', '$id', 0);
}

because the form is sending the data to "test.php" Though I might just be getting confuzed since I haven't done php in a while.

If that stuff is fine, then there is one thing that might make your coding easier... and maybe might have effect on if it works but I don't think it will. When I do php, I hate doing html in php so I don't. All you have to do is simply do ?> then do the html, which then you don't have to use the slashes. Then once you need php again, you do <?php

Just a little something that makes php easier, you might have already known about it but I thought I would mention it.

Try this:

CODE

if ($opi == "docheck")
check_status('$ms', '$id', 0);
else
echo "$checkform";

There maybe another reason: register_global is turn off.

That is possible. I suggest that you use the following:

CODE

if ($opi != "docheck") {
echo "$checkform";
} elseif ($opi == "docheck") {
check_status($_POST["ms"],'$_POST["id"], 0);
}

If register globals is not enabled, you can't just load the variables directly, you have so use the $_POST array.

Also, the single quotes may have been giving you a problem...

Good luck!!
