I feel like an absolute moron posting this question, but I'm completely serious, I officially have NO idea why this form isn't posting. I've gone from using AJAX to display information inputted to simple submit-redirect-grab Post data in PHP to $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] trying to get the information to JUST POST, and it won't. Most of the people asking this question have had their answers revealed as "You need a name field" or "Your javascript is the issue" but I have a name field and I am no longer using javascript. I am utterly and completely confused.
For reference, I'm using PHPStorm and a Local server to test this out. I just logged on fresh today, saved the project, ran it for the first times today, made sure it wasn't just a sort of cached project, and it doesn't appear to have anything with old data.
Please don't mind if some of the form syntax is messy, I just want this darn post to work so I can move on to the meat of what I'm trying to make. Also there is no stylesheet currently, it's mostly empty apart from
.id {
height: 100px;
}
Also none of the form fields are required, you really only need to enter information into one. I've got it doing a var_dump just so I can see all of the form post data, and it's brilliantly not working. I did have it echoing out something in PHP along the lines of "Done!" to show php is being read, and I also had it attempting to echo $_POST["modelnumber"] just to see that. Nope.
