Question

I am trying to have two input boxes, and a button which will update them in a database. I have deletion, which works, adding new rows, and other things, yet this refuses to work:

    echo '<form action="index.php" method="post"><input placeholder="Enter a title here" type = "Text" name = "Title_input" value = "'.${notes.$loc."titles"}.'" style = "top:0px;left:230px;right:0px;height:30px;position:absolute;">';
echo '<textarea placeholder="Make note of something here!" cols="94" rows="20" name="Text_input" style="top:40px;left:230px;position:absolute;right:50px;">'.${notes.$loc."notes"}.'</textarea>';

Which prints the text boxes out to the page. I also have

 <form action="index.php" method = "post"><input type="Submit" name="Update" value="Update" style="right:0px;bottom:0px;height:50px;width:200px;position:inherit">

(It has the closing tags and everything after another block of code)

However when I run:

if (isset($_POST['Update']) && isset($_POST['Title_input']) && isset($_POST['Text_input'])) {
echo $_POST['Title_input'];
  } else {
echo "Failed";
  }

It echoes ‘Failed’. I cannot see any issue, as the text areas would have been outputted so should be set.

You have to put the input fields in the same form as the update button.
