Values will not _POST

No. When you call the page up that produces the image up above. Do a Page Source and save the source (rendered HTML), zip it up and email it to me.

I sent you an email back.

I Thought I would drop in, and ask something simple.
From your form, you have 3 things named

$ateam_id = $_POST['team_id'];
$dteam_id = $_POST['dteam_id'];
$tid = $_POST['tid'];
$action = 'Attack';

Notice that your form has ateam_id, dteam_id, and tid. But your form uses team_id, I think you need to change that code to $_POST['ateam_id']. I dont know what is being returned, quick way to check , print_r($_POST);

You will need to see whats getting passed in order to tell whats wrong, $_POST is an array and print_r will help to see that array in its entirety.

team_id gets passed in from the previous page. That is why I am not using $_POST['ateam_id']

I try to write the value of team_id into $ateam_id

The dteam_id is generated on the Attack page so that is why I am trying to use $_POST with that value.

I'll try the print_r with $_POST and see what happnens.

It returns Array ( )

Basically that means that your form is not processing the way you expect it.
Reason: no submit, nothing in the $_POST array.
Solution, I would either put a submit button in the form, this may not be the best and easiest solution for you, so I would make those click links you have, carry the data in order to actually put it in the $_GET array. I dont think sentinel will like that much, so a Call to the requested url might be necessary, then strip out the things like the domain and the file, and split whats left with an explode of the & symbol. Then I would do an process of each object returned. I know the admin section does something similar, I never really looked into it. I would sudjest a new aproach similar to the one I proposed. I hope this is what you need.
I would love to find out how to make a form auto act on close, Shy of Javascript function, I cant think of a way to do that.

Well you lost me on some of that. I have been looking at this for awhile now as has Raven himself. We exchanged quite a few emails but so far cannot figure it out.

I tried to split out the ConfirmAttack to a separate page but I only got the same result.

Would really like to get this working. I am way overdue.

If Raven and yourself wouldnt mind, please send me the code, only the base code, forget the nuke part if thats possible. I would like to see how the code is being propogated. Anything submitted should process, but you cant have a form $_POST to another page, then without another form, also post to a second, basically, you cant go from index.html form processed to form.php then redirected to a thankyou.php

By the time It gets to thankyou.php, the $_POST variable will be empty.
If you could send me the base code, Id like to look at it.

Here you go.

This one has a couple functions I call. I thought I would include it.

I hope this is what you were asking for.

I'm gonna try and pass this with a function and insert that way.

Donovan, Truly my apologies, I wanted to help on this but to be honest things have gotten so backed up here, I dont think I have time to. Somethings have really hurt my time to work on things. Im sorry but these things came sudenly and had no chance to really prepare. I hope you get this resolved.

Ok.

I created a function and passed all my values in the ConfirmAttack variable.

My case statement in my index.php reads

Code:

case "ConfirmAttack":


    confirmattack($team_id, $ateam_id, $dteam_id, $tid, $ateam_name, $dteam_name, $territory);


    break;

and my function written below is

Code:

function confirmattack($team_id, $ateam_id, $dteam_id, $tid, $ateam_name, $dteam_name, $territory, $selectenemy) {


global $module_name, $db, $prefix;


include_once("modules/$module_name/common.php");


$action = "Attack";   





$verify = checkstatus($team_id);  


if ($verify) {exit();}





$enemy = checkmove($tid, $team_id); 


if (!$enemy) {


    OpenTable();


        echo"<center><h3><b>" . _ATTACKTEAMS. "</b></h3></center><br><br>"


        ."<center><b><font color=RED size=4> There are no enemy forces positioned on your territory! </font></b></center><br><br>"


        ."<center><b> Your team is not in a position to attack at this time! </b></center><br><br>"


        ."<center><b> Move your team to a territory and engage enemy forces! </b></center><br><br>"


        ."<br>";


    CloseTable();


    include('footer.php');


}else{





$result = $db->sql_query ("INSERT INTO " . $prefix . "_eto_tracking (log_id, ateam_id, dteam_id, tid, move_dt, action)".


         "VALUES (NULL,'$ateam_id','$dteam_id','$tid', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(),'$action')");   





echo "<P><font color=RED size=4><center>Attack Orders Have Been Sent!</center></font></p>";


include_once("footer.php");


}

The end of my form now looks like this.

Code:

while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($sql) ) {


            $dteam_id = $row['team_id'];


            $dteam_name = $row['name'];


            $tid = $row['tid'];


            $territory = $row['t_name'];            


            echo "<tr>"    


               ."<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><font color=\"#000000\">$dteam_id</font>"


               . "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ateam_id\" value=\"$ateam_id\">"


               . "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"dteam_id\" value=\"$dteam_id\">"


               . "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"tid\" value=\"$tid\">"                              


               . "<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><font color=\"#000000\">$dteam_name</font></td>"    


               . "<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><font color=\"#000000\">$territory</font></td>"


            . "<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"selectenemy\" value=\"\"></td>" 


               . "</tr><br>";


    }


   echo"<tr><td><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Attack\"></td></tr>";


   echo"<input name=\"op\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"ConfirmAttack\"\">";

How do I ensure the value of the radio button to be able to insert the correct dteam_id?

I have a dteam_id being written but it is the last in the query. I need it to write the correct one I selected with the radio button.

Got it working.

Code:

while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($sql) ) {


            $dteam_id = $row['team_id'];


            $dteam_name = $row['name'];


            $tid = $row['tid'];


            $territory = $row['t_name'];            


            echo "<tr>"    


            ."<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><font color=\"#000000\">$dteam_id</font>"


            ."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ateam_id\" value=\"$ateam_id\">"               


            ."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"tid\" value=\"$tid\">"                              


            ."<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><font color=\"#000000\">$dteam_name</font></td>"    


            ."<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><font color=\"#000000\">$territory</font></td>"


         ."<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#666666\"><input type=\"radio\" name=\"dteam_id\" value=\"$dteam_id\"></td>" 


            . "</tr><br>";


    }


   echo"<tr><td><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Attack\"></td></tr>";


   echo"<input name=\"op\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"ConfirmAttack\"\">";   


    echo"</table>";


    echo"</form>";
