Question

Here is my form declaration

  <form enctype="text/plain" method="post" action="PI_Application_Submission.php">

Here is my input:

  <tr><td>Requested User Name<font color="red">*</font></td> <td><input type="text" name="user_name" size="35"></td></tr>

Here is my php line…

  echo $_POST['user_name'];

I know how to check with the isset function and this is not just a warning. For some reason the value of user_name just does not get passed. What am I doing wrong?

My error message is as follows:

  Notice: Undefined index: use in /var/www/html/PI_Application_Submission.php on line 6

Try to removing enctype form attribute.
Basically PHP does not parse POST when your enctype different from application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data.

You can access to raw post data with file_get_contents('php://input')
