i wondered if you could help, i've got this form set up

PHP Code:

<form method="post" name="confess_rate" action="?do=voting">
<input type="hidden" name="confessionid" value="$confessionid">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="$bbuserinfo[userid]">
<table width="80%">
  <tr>
    <td align="center" colspan="2" nowrap>
      <smallfont>rate how good you think this confession is</smallfont><br />
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="1" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="2" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="3" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="4" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="5" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="6" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="7" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="8" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="9" onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
      <input type="radio" name="rate" value="10"onclick="document.confess_rate.submit()">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" width="50%"><smallfont>Saint</smallfont></td>
    <td align="right" width="50%"><smallfont>Sinner</smallfont></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="center" colspan="2"><br>
      <smallfont>this confession currently has a rating of $confession_avg_rate</smallfont>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form> 

and i want insert the information into the database, it's a rating system, for this i've set up this code

PHP Code:

  // this conditional handles the rating
  if ($_POST['submit'] == "rate") {
   $confessionid = intval($_POST['confessionid']);
   $verify = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM confession_rate WHERE confessionid = $confessionid AND userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]");
   if ($verify) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("confession_error_novotetwice")."\");");
   } else {
    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO confession_rate SET
    confessionid = '$confessionid',
    userid = '$bbuserinfo[userid]',
    rate = '$rate',
    timestamp = '".time ()."'");
 
    header("Location: $PHP_SELF?s="); //takes you back to main confession page
   }
  } else {
   eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("confession_error_vote")."\");"); //page i keep being taken too
  } 

yet it's just not doing it, every time i try and rate something, i get the error designated by " eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("confession_er ror_vote")."\");"); " i wondered if you could help me to get this working please.

Are your global variables turned off? If so, you need do use a $_POST in your php form to get the values from the input form.

Code:

if ($_POST['submit'] == "rate") {

I don't see any form element with the name "submit" and the value "rate". Instead of having the form auto-submit with the click of the radio button, just add a submit button.

Code:

<input type="subimt" name="submit" value="rate" />

I was wondering about this...

action="?do=voting">

Why the "?" is there. Is that part of the script name?

sorry about this, i figured it out by changing

PHP Code:

  if ('confess_rate' && $rate && $confessionid != '' && $bbuserinfo[userid] > 0) { 

instead of

PHP Code:

 if ($_POST['submit'] == "rate") { 

and it worked fine

I use an immage for the submit button, as bellow:
<input name="submit" type="image" value="apply" src="images/but_submit.gif" alt="Submit" width="66" height="17" border="0">

Yet, I can't seem to access the variable via
if ($_POST['submit'] == "apply") {

Is there any other way I can see if this form is submitted?

[sabret00the]

post the whole form markup and i'll take a look

it's part of an internal switch function
