Echo Submit Button in PHP

Question

I am trying to echo a submit form in my php code:

I am trying the following:

// Display results
foreach ($media->data as $data) {
echo "<a href=\"{$data->link}\"</a>";
echo "<h4>Photo by: {$data->user->username}</h6>";
echo $pictureImage = "<img src=\"{$data->images->thumbnail->url}\">";
echo "<h5>Like Count for Photo: {$data->likes->count}</h5>";
echo "<form>";
echo "<form action='tag.php' method='post'>";
echo "<input type='submit' name='submit'>";
echo "</form>";
}

Then:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
echo "hello";
}

This doesn't seem to echo "hello";

Any help would be appreciated

• Dave Chen: if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { :P
• Jeff Noel: You forgot to close a parenthesis in your if statement.
• dbf: I would suggest to stop using Notepad as your IDE and choose one that would have saved you time writing this question.

Answer 1

You're missing a closing parenthesis:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 ^
 Here

Answer 2

You're missing a value on the input tag. Change it to:

echo "<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>";

Answer 3

 echo '<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Active">';

Answer 4

It should be

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 ^
 echo "hello";
}

you missed a parenthesis.

Edit: Also it should be:

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>

Else $_POST['submit'] will not get set.

• Jeff Noel: @asg then your submit variable contains nothing.
• tobspr: @JeffNoel with that form, $_POST['submit'] should return 'Submit' I believe
• tobspr: @asg is that your actual code? I don't the any obvious error.
• Jeff Noel: @TobSpr I'm checking it right now. I doubt the input[type="submit"] elements are sent to the server. I'll edit this post in a few seconds. Edit --> You are right: array (size=1) 'submit' => string 'Submit' (length=6) That might be hell of a good way to check which form sent the data !
• tobspr: Yeah they are sent. I know that many sites check it, to check wheter it was actual their form, because most devs don't know it.
