Form is not submitting, dont know what happend. It was working earlier but now.. :(

any please check this, where am wrong???? Edit

Answer 1

you are missing form action - point it to the script!

Answer 2

Try changing

<form name="adduser" action="" method="POST">

to

<form name="adduser" action="<script name>" method="POST">

or the name of your script.

Answer 3

Are you trying to post this form using JavaScript?

If that is the case you should change the name of your submit input, because it conflicts with submit() method. JS just doesn't know if it should use input.submit property or input.submit() method.

Change this to something like:

<input type="submit" name="mySubmit" value="Save" >

and it should start working.

Answer 4

You may also want to try

$phpself = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
 echo '<form name="adduser" action="$phpself" method="POST">';

Though I find this works for me too

Try a last ditch

echo "<pre>".print_r($_POST, true)."</pre>";

To see what's happen behind the scene.
