I am working on the following web page tonight:
http://www.actsministrieschristianevangelism.org/verseofthed ay/

I am trying to program the "Load Previous Issue" "Random Issue" and
"Load Next Issue" buttons.

I am using Ajax to pass the date the user is requesting to the PHP
script for processing.

I am wondering how my PHP script may access the value of value of
$_POST['submit']. At present echo $_POST['submit']; doesn't give me a
value. Consequently all queries to the mySQL database fail.

Hi Ron,

What's your Javascript client-side code to invoke the PHP-script? You may
need to switch to $_GET[] instead of $_POST...

When I'm developing a number of pages and don't keep track of every
variable or form name (etc), I plant a print_r($_POST); at the top of
the page, so there's no guessing what gets sent to the page . . .

If you have an empty $_POST array, then the <form> isn't using
action=3Dpost, or you didn't code your button as type=3D"submit" (?)

Just suggestions - since I can't see the code.

Hi Steve, =


He's using Ajax, so some variant of the XMLHttpRequest Javascript object =
on
the client. It may not be obvious which method is used when the data is s=
ent.

Now that I think of it, printing $_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD] should let you =
know
which one is being used.

hth.

Ron, is your AJAX request a POST? Is it actually assigning a value to
"submit"? It sounds like that datum is missing because it's not being
sent.

Steve is incorrect in suggesting that $_POST['submit'] will be
populated with data from an HTML input of type "submit". To achieve
the effect he is describing, you would need to add name="submit" to
that input. None of the keys of $_POST are magically populated. If
your request doesn't submit a variable named "submit", there will be
no such key in the array.
