So I'm new to PHP and I'm having trouble getting some of my forms to function. I think it may be the way my site is set up that's causing me problems.
I have index.php which is set up as such:
<div class="pageContent">
<div id="main" style="width:1000px; margin:0 auto;">
<!-- Create the tabs -->
<div id="tabs" >
<ul>
<li><a href="#tabs-0">Overview</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-1">Ranked</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-2">Arena</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-3">Decks</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-4">New Game</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-5">Admin</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-0"></div>
<div id="tabs-1"></div>
<div id="tabs-2"></div>
<div id="tabs-3"></div>
<div id="tabs-4"></div>
<div id="tabs-5"></div>
</div>
<!-- Load the pages into tabs -->
<script>
$("#tabs").tabs();
$("#tabs-0").load("tab0.php");
$("#tabs-1").load("tab1.php");
$("#tabs-2").load("tab2.php");
$("#tabs-3").load("tab3.php");
$("#tabs-4").load("newGame.php");
$("#tabs-5").load("admin.php");
</script>
</div><!-- / main -->
</div><!-- / pageContent -->
This gives me a nice static page and 6 tabs of .php
files to do cool stuff on.
There are a couple of forms, log in and such, in index.php
which all function fine. But when I create a form on a page in a tab, it will not.
Here's an example from admin.php
(#tabs-5
)
<?php
if(isset($_POST['delLog'])){
unlink('log.txt');
echo 'Success';
}
if(isset($_POST['delLog'])){
unlink('error_log');
echo 'Success';
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td width="40%" valign="top">
</td>
<td width="30%" valign="top">
<h1>error_log</h1>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="delErr" id="delErr" value="Delete" />
</form>
<hr />
<?php
$lines = explode("
", file_get_contents('error_log'));
foreach ($lines as $line){
echo $line.'<br>';
}
?>
</td>
<td width="3'0%" valign="top">
<h1>log.txt</h1>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="delLog" id="delLog" value="Delete" />
</form>
<hr />
<?php
$lines = explode("
", file_get_contents('log.txt'));
foreach ($lines as $line){
echo $line.'<br>';
}
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
This is another, better example. A stripped down test I did yesterday for this question
<?php
define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true);
include 'php/functions.php';
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
logThis('ready!');
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
logThis('success');
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Neither of these examples work. When the submit button is pressed the site refreshes but no PHP actions are taking place. There is no error message in error_log. I don't think it's getting the call at all.
Neither of the forms return an output, one adds to the database. The other deletes log files.
Hope I've provided enough details.
