Post method not working in PHP

Question

I've tried some other posts, but never made it.

My php form inside html file is :

<form action="test.php" method="POST">
VAR:<input type="text" name="var"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>

I'm receiving the variable in test.php as <br>

$_POST['var'] ---- > doesn't work! <br>

Tried, $_REQUEST['var'] ----> doesn't work!

I tried the form using get request, it works like a charm on the other end at test.php by using both $_GET['var'] and $_REQUEST['var'] Any way I can parse the request in the form of post request from that form to test.php ..

Appreciate the help! Thanks.

Updated to PHP 7.0 and it's working now!

Answer 2

Did you check the value of 'submit' whether it is set or not like

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$_POST['var']
}

Answer 3

Your html tag is wrong. You need to set name to it like this

<input type= "submit" name= "submit">

Then when you submit your form like this:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// you will set your post var, try to print it with
print_r($_POST);

}

And you don't need to add "/" to the input, it will work without it.

And sorry, ive made syntax mistake, forgot to close if statement. Now is correct.

Try this what is post on same page

<?php
if(isset($_POST['var_name'])) {
 print_r($_POST);
}
exit();
?>

<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="var_name"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Save">
</form>
