Copying a value from POST into a variable - php

Question

In a page I have a form that submits with Post method. In another page I'm just trying to retreive and echo those values. If I just:
var_dump($_POST)
I see every value I entered in the form.
If I do something like:
echo $_POST['name'];
echo $_POST['surname'];
echo $_POST['telephone'];
I see the correct values.
But if, at the beginning of the page, use:
$name = $_POST['name'];
$surname = $_POST['surname'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
echo $name . ' ' . $surname . ' ' . $telephone;
I notice that for example name and telephone are always empty.
HTML form:
<form id="dom_com_sci" class="form" name="dom_com_sci" action="./ricevuta-fiscale-2convention.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" target="_self" style="height: 2200px; width: 619px;">
<p>
<label for="name">name:</label>
<input id="name" class="focus capitalize" name="name" type="text" size="26" value="" maxlength="70" placeholder="es. Mario" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="surname">surname:</label>
<input id="surname" class="focus capitalize" name="surname" type="text" size="26" value="" maxlength="70" placeholder="es. Rossi" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="telephone">telephone:</label>
<input id="telephone" class="focus capitalize" name="telephone" type="text" size="26" value="" maxlength="70" placeholder="es. Rossi" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<input type="submit" name="Send" value="Send" tabindex="34" />
</form>
The php script on the result page:
<?php
require_once('./function/generic_function.php');
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == "Send") {
$surname= $_POST['surname'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
}
?>
generic_function.php:
<?php
function replace($stringa) {
$stringa_r = str_replace('\\','',$stringa);
return $stringa_r;
}
function accesso($percorso,$opzione = "N") {
($opzione == "Y") ? $blank = "target=_blank" : $blank = "";
if(isset($_SESSION['access_level']) && $_SESSION['access_level'] > 1 && isset($_SESSION['logged']) && $_SESSION['logged'] == 1 && isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
print('href="'.$percorso.'"'.$blank);
} else {
print('href="'.$dir.'access.php"');
}
}
?>

Answer 1

you are missing on quote (') in these line
$surname= $_POST['surname];
$name = $_POST['name];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone];
it should be this
$surname= $_POST['surname'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
<?php
//error_reporting($level=NULL);
?>
<form id="dom_com_sci" class="form" name="dom_com_sci" action="" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" target="_self" >
<p>
<label for="name">name:</label>
<input id="name" class="focus capitalize" name="name" type="text" size="26" value="" maxlength="70" placeholder="es. Mario" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="surname">surname:</label>
<input id="surname" class="focus capitalize" name="surname" type="text" size="26" value="" maxlength="70" placeholder="es. Rossi" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="telephone">telephone:</label>
<input id="telephone" class="focus capitalize" name="telephone" type="text" size="26" value="" maxlength="70" placeholder="es. Rossi" autocomplete="off" />
</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" tabindex="34" />
</form>
<?php
//require_once('./function/generic_function.php');
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == "submit") {
$surname= $_POST['surname'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
echo $name . ' ' . $surname . ' ' . $telephone;
}
?>
Comment:: To style your form. You can put it inside the div and than can give that div style.
