passing form variables to a function

(1/2) > >>

jami:
having this piece of crap code in a function:

--- Code: ---echo '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5" bgcolor="#6394bd">
                 <tr><td class="titlebg"><strong>&middot; Inserimento Quiz</strong>
                 </td>
                 </tr>
                 <tr>
                   <td valign="top" class="windowbg2"> <form method="post" action="'.$boardurl.'?action=quizc">
                       <p align="center"><b>Nome del Quiz</b></p>
                       <p align="center">
                         <input name="name" type="text" size="70" />
                    </p>
                     <p align="center"><b>Autore</b></p><input type="hidden" name="creator" value="'.$username.'" />
                     <p align="center"><a href="$boardurl/index.php?action=quizd;nome='.$username.'">'.$username.'</a></p>
                    <p align="center"><b>Aggiunto il</b></p><input type="hidden" name="inserimento" value="'.gmstrftime("%d %B  %Y, %I:%M:%S", time()+$timeoffset*3600).'" />
                   <p align="center">'.gmstrftime("%d %B  %Y, %I:%M:%S", time()+$timeoffset*3600).'</p>
                   <p align="center"><b>Descrizione del Quiz</b></p>
                   <p align="center">
                        <textarea name="description" cols="70" rows="8"></textarea>
                     </p>
                      <p align="center">
                            <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Inserisci" />
                    </p>
                     </form></td>
                 </tr>
                 <tr>
                   <td bgcolor="#DEE7EF">
                   <img src="'.$imagesdir.'/quiz.gif" align="absmiddle">&nbsp<a href="'.$boardurl.'/index.php?action=quiz">Pagina Principale dei Quiz</a>
                   </td>
                 </tr>
              </table>';
--- End code ---

how to pass the variables name, creator, inserimento and description ?

$title=$_GET['name']; or $title=$_POST['name']; or $_GLOBALS

I can't get it to work ... che somaro.

Aquilo:
function something(){
global $name, $creator, $inserimento, $description;

echo $name.$creator.$inserimento.$description;
}

make them global. declare them as global

Haase:
You should be able to get it to work just by using $_POST['name'], etc. in the code on the next page.  I'm not sure why it's not working though...

But on another note (probably not related), you should probably give your form a name.
--- Code: ---<form method="post" name="the_form_name" action="'.$boardurl.'?action=quizc">
--- End code ---
Particulary if there is more than one form on the page.

jami:
I've resolved the problem writing 2 function:

in the the first function there's the form with input name="namevar" and as action the second function

in the second function there's no global var declared, only $_POST[namevar] passed to the insert query.

and it works  ;).

add: I think code fontsize can be greater ( 9px?)

--- End quote ---

You're meaning addslashes($_POST[namevar]) is passed to the insert-query, right? Passing Variables without escaping ' and " would be stupid....
