Something basic: I am trying to pass some information from a form to another page.

My form:

<form id="login_form" action="{path=user/loginrespons}" method="post">
  <fieldset>
    <label for="firstname">Email address<abbr title="Required field">*</abbr></label> <input type="text" class="required email" name="email" />

   <input type="submit" class="input_submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
  </fieldset>
 </form>

My “loginrespons” template:

<?php 

    if ( ! isset($_POST['email'])) {

            $email = FALSE;

    }else{

            $email = $_POST['email'];
    }
    
 ?>

php is enabled for this template, but no data is passed. When I put my response page outside of EE as a regular php page everything works fine.
Any idea what I am missing here?

You can try using the codeigniter post variables.

You need to make sure you reference the EE super object and then use the CI input library to get the post variables.

Maybe you can start with a vardump. <?php var_dump($_POST); ?>. to see if anything comes through.

Thank you both for having a look.

I noticed a 405 Method Not Allowed error in Firebug, although php is enabled (the rest of this page’s php was working fine). I just deleted the template in the template manager, made a new one with same settings and code an now everything works fine…

Simply use the following code to check what values are being passed via post method.

<?php print_r($_POST); exit; ?>

I had the same problem with normal $_POST[‘something’] not showing anything (I got an undefined index notice).

The CI syntax below worked for me:

$something = $this->EE->input->post('something');

I’m having this exact issue under EE 2.4.0 and I can;t seem to get my form working. I noticed when I check the headers that I see the POST data, but the status code shows 301:

[code
Request Method:POST
Status Code:301 Moved Permanently
</code></pre>I have tried dumping both the $_POST var and the $this->EE->input->post value and get NULL results for both.

[code]
print_r($_POST);
var_dump($this->EE->input->post(‘email’));</code></pre>

Like StudioKong mentioned if I post to a PHP page outside the EE the data comes across fine. I did try creating a new template from scratch inside the EE Template Manager, but I still ended up with no POST data on submit.

Any clues?

I may have solved my own issue on this one. My Comment forms weren’t posting either and a friend pointed out that my be my HTACCESS rule for removing the index.php and these Posts not adding back in the trailing slash.

It fixed my comment form and I’m going to try these pages now, but the 301 Redirect I was seeing seems to support the theory.
