I am having trouble using $_POST on custom pages. I have created two test pages and tried using this on page one:

Code Download source


<form action="viewpage.php?page_id=2.php" method="post">
First name: <input type="text" name="firstname" /><br />
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Test" />
</form>

Then on page two I have:

Code Download source


<?php   
   echo $_POST['firstname'] . ' ' . $_POST['lastname'];
?>

When I click the submit button, my main page opens up and not the firstname, lastname test page I have created.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi,

Forms will not work in Admin >> Content >>> Custom pages you will need to make an actual page for it in php.

Also make sure you secure that $_POST['firstname'] and $_POST['lastname'] using stripinput.
Like so...

Code Download source

stripinput($_POST['firstname'])
stripinput($_POST['lastname'])

OK. Thank you.

What would be the best way to create a new file? I defiantly want to keep the panels and such intact. I am not sure what all I would need to include.

Thanks.

Hey Bill1095,

You can use custom pages. If you wish to read post data from the custom page, change the action url below to the custom page id your using.

In administration > custom pages. Input the following into the Page Content area. Once you edit it to match your content, click save and visit the page.

Code Download source

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo "Your action was submitted<br />";
echo "Input was: ".$_POST['name'];
} else {
echo "Input and submit. ;)";
}

echo "<form name='form_name' id='form_id' method='post' action='viewpage.php?page_id=2' enctype='multipart/form-data'>\n";

echo "<input type='text' name='name'>\n";

echo "<input type='submit' name='submit'>\n";

echo "</form>";
?>

Best,

Thanks NetriX. I think I will make new pages as suggested by Craig. Ultimately, I would like to create an Infusion for what I am doing. Is there a guide or how-to for making Infusions? My php and MySQL skills are up to the task, but I see that a lot of work has gone into php-Fusion. Instead of decoding all of the work done, it would be nice to have a guide to get started.
