Why php form not submitting? - php

Question

I'm developing a script for online admission in a website. Below is php code of the page. The problem is that it's not submitting.
<?php
include ("include/header.php"), include ("include/config.php");
if(isset($_POST['applyAdmission'])) {
$admission_no = $_POST['admission_no'];
$f_name = $_POST['f_name'];
$l_name = $_POST['l_name'];
$p_add = $_POST['p_add'];
$c_add = $_POST['c_add'];
$dob = $_POST['dob'];
$education = $_POST['education'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile_no'];
$course = $_POST['course'];
$subjects = $_POST['subjects'];
$timing = $_POST['timing'];
$filepath_pic = $_FILES['picture']['name'];
$res_move_pic = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['picture']['tmp_name'], "/admission/".$filepath_pic);
$filepath_sign = $_FILES['sign']['name'];
$res_move_sign = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['sign']['tmp_name'], "/admission/".$filepath_sign);
$agree_terms = $_POST['agree_terms'];
$agree_cond = $_POST['agree_cond'];
if ($res_move_pic == 1 && $res_move_sign == 1 ) {
$query = "INSERT into online_admission (f_name, l_name, p_add, c_add, dob, degree, mobile_no, course, subjects, timing, pic, sign, agree_terms, agree_cond, applied_on)
values ('$f_name','$l_name','$p_add','$c_add','$dob','$education','$mobile','$course','$subjects','$timing','$filepath_pic','$filepath_sign','$agree_terms','$agree_cond','now()')";
$res = mysql_query($query) or die("ERROR: Unable to insert into database.");
if ($res == 1) {
header('Location:http://adarshclasses.in/admission_success.php/');
exit();
} else {
header('Location:http://adarshclasses.in/admission_failed.php/');
exit();
}
} else {
echo "Error in updateing profile pic and sign";
}
} else {
//echo "Please submit the form, thanks!";
}
;?>
Everything in form is correct like I added same name in form which i used in $_POST but still it's not working, please help me to fix this issue.
Here is html codes of form:

Answer 1

The reason behind that in the input type of the HTML Page for the submit you are using <input type="button"
instead of <input type="submit". Use <input type="submit" that's work.
Example:
<input type="submit" name="" value="Submit">

Answer 2

Changed
<button type="text">
to
<button type="submit">

Answer 3

Change
button type="text" to type="button" Or input type ="submit/button"

Answer 4

You need to change this code:
<button type="text" name="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block" name="applyAdmission"> Submit my application form </button>
with below code :
<input type="submit" name="applyAdmission" value="Submit my application form" class="btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block" />
You also need to make sure that your wrote PHP code in same file, otherwise you have to add PHP file name in action tag in below line:
<form class="form-horizontal" id="admission_form" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
You also have some PHP error in your code, so you have to add first line in your PHP code and then fix your PHP Fatal error.
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

Answer 5

I see a little syntax error and I think fixing this will fix your issue.
Change
include ("include/header.php"), include ("include/config.php");
to
include ("include/header.php");
include ("include/config.php");
To show you the syntax error, here is an example:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
include("test.php"), include("someother.php");
The response:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in ...\tests\includeTest.php on line 6
Incorrect input type
You should also change your button type.
Change
<button type="text"...
to
<button type="submit"...

Answer 6

Change <button> to <input>. Buttons can work with javascript but with only php button cant work with post data. You can not get POST data by <button>. For this you have to use <input>
Change this
<button type="text" name="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block" name="applyAdmission"> Submit my application form </button>
to
<input type="submit" name="applyAdmission">
Second:
Here is looking syntax error include ("include/header.php"), include ("include/config.php");
PHP requires instructions to be terminated with a semicolon at the end of each statement. Make them seperate by ; not by ,.
include ("include/header.php");
include ("include/config.php");
