[Plugin: PHP Snippets] error getting data from a form

  • I’m new to wordpress. I have some php pages that work fine outside of wp but when trying to move them into the wp site the form data is not getting passed. This part works;

    $courseid = $_REQUEST['courseid'];

    As it is passed in the URL.

    I then pull up a form (contained in the snippet) based on the courseid. It’s when that is filled out and submitted I get strange results. I’m using a REQUEST to get the information. Should I be doing something differently?

  • The PHP Snippets bit is designed to be as passive as possible, so any strange results are likely a result of your code and not the plugin’s.

    E.g. always test that the variable has been set, e.g. 

    $courseid = '';
if (isset($_REQUEST['courseid'])) {
   $courseid = $_REQUEST['courseid'];
}

    I’d have to see more of your code to comment on what else it might be doing. You can paste code in the pastebin.

    Sorry there was so much code.

    You gotta use the pastebin, otherwise your code gets removed from the post.
