Question

Im having trouble trying to call POST data on my page,
My form is…

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="getdata.php">
<input type="hidden" id="TimeToRenderHoursInput" name="TimeToRenderHoursInput" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="TimeToRenderDaysInput" name="TimeToRenderDaysInput" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="TimeToRenderYearsInput" name="TimeToRenderYearsInput" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="ContentMinutesInput" name="ContentMinutesInput" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="ContentMinutesSelector" name="ContentMinutesSelector" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="PriorityInput" name="PriorityInput" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="AvgFrameRenderTimeInput" name="AvgFrameRenderTimeInput" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="AvgFrameRenderTimeSelector" name="AvgFrameRenderTimeSelector" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="CoresInTestInput" name="CoresInTestInput" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="EstPriceInput" name="EstPriceInput" value="" />

<input type="image" src="images/CONTINUE.jpg" style=" border:none; padding:0; width:206px; height:41px; float:right; display:none;" id="continue" />

</form>

and my php page which should get the data is

<?php 
$quantity = $_POST['TimeToRenderHoursInput'];
echo $quantity; 
?>

The values in my form are populated before its sent using Javascript…

Answer 1

write before closing the <form>

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

or wrap you image with submit button

<button type="submit" name="postdata" id="postData">
     <img  src="images/CONTINUE.jpg" style=" border:none; padding:0; width:206px; height:41px; float:right; display:none;" alt="Continue" title="Continue"/>
 </button>

and also debug by writing below on getdata.php

 echo "<pre>";
 print_r($_POST);
 echo "</pre>";

one more thing : Just remove display: none from <input type=image ... > ( Thanks @johndodo)

Note: if you use image to submit a form then get the data using image name dimension like this ( $_POST[‘submit_x’] OR $_POST[‘submit_y’] )

<form >
<input type="image" name="submit" src="whatever" value="Continue"> 
</form> 

<? 
if($_POST){ 
   print_r($_POST); 
} 
if($_POST['submit_x'] || $_POST['submit_y']){ 
   echo "An image button was used"; 
}
