$_post Error Help!

Hi

I have code which doesn´t work. It should make me shirt list of my music shirts.

And here is the code:

$artist = $_POST['artist'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$license = $_POST['license'];

$row = $artist . " - " . $name;

	if (isset($_REQUEST['license']) || $license == 'official') {

		$adding_band = fopen("entries/shirt_official_bandlist.txt", "a");
		fwrite($adding_band, "\n" . $artist);
		fclose($adding_band);
		
        $adding_record = fopen("entries/shirtlist_official.txt","a");
        fwrite($adding_record, "\n" . $row);
        fclose($adding_record);
        header('Location: shirtlist.php');
		
		}
		
	if (isset($_REQUEST['license']) || $license == 'unofficial') {

		$adding_band = fopen("entries/shirt_unofficial_bandlist.txt", "a");
		fwrite($adding_band, "\n" . $artist);
		fclose($adding_band);
		
        $adding_record = fopen("entries/shirtlist_unofficial.txt","a");
        fwrite($adding_record, "\n" . $row);
        fclose($adding_record);
        header('Location: shirtlist.php');
		
		}

PHP:

It should post shirts with "official" and "unofficial" tags to different .txt files!

It doesn´t post anything to .txt files! What I have to change?

Thanks a lot!

 

Hi,

what is the form that submits data to your script?

By the way: I think in the following line:
if (isset($_REQUEST['license']) || $license == 'official') {
you should replace || by &&. And it would be better if you decided whether you use REQUEST or POST to access the variables! Otherwise you might experience some unexpected behaviour

 

Form is like this:

<form action="adding_shirt.php" method="post">
  Artist:<br /><input type="text" name="artist" maxlength="100" size="40"><br />
  Name:<br /><input type="text" name="name" maxlength="100" size="40"><br />
  License:<br /><input type="text" name="license" maxlength="100" size="40"><br /><br /><br />
  <input type="submit" value="Add shirt">
</form>

PHP:

But it doesn´t work, it doesn´t post anything to .txt files

Which kind of string I need make to adding_shirt.php?
I want it works like that:

If I write "official" to form place 'license' it should post the data to shirtlist_official.txt and if I write "unofficial" to form place 'license' it post the data to shirtlist_unofficial.txt

 

Is there any error or warning message?

Some tips:
You can try the debug code like this:
echo "<br>receive: $artist : $name : $license";

To get rid of warning message, You can use:
$artist=isset($_POST[' artist']) ? $_POST[' artist'] : '';

You don't need to use $_REQUEST in the condition.

 

Are your .txt-files actually writable? Try to comment the header() lines and see what errors you get

 

That wouldn't make a difference as any error would count as outputted data and so the header wouldn't be sent.

I'm not sure why it isn't working, I'll have a quick think and get back to you.

 

It works now, I forget give the chmod rights to .txt files.

But it posts the data ALWAYS to official list even if I write to form "unofficial"...

Thanks!

 

probably because you have your code as

  if (isset($_REQUEST['license']) || $license == 'official')

PHP:

unless you already changed it.

it should be && instead of || as 2nd poster stated
