Question

Passing parameters back to same form using PHP

Answer 1

A:

You should use $_POST['store'] instead of $_GET['store'] since it's a POST request parameter.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $store = $_POST['store'];
    $lang='en';
}
else{
    $store=143441;
    $lang='en';
} 
switch ($store){
case "143441":
   $storename="USA";
   break;
case "143444":
   $storename="UK";
   break;
}
?>

Answer 2

+1 A:

Your sample code:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    $store = $_GET['store'];

Your problem is that you're mixing $_POST and $_GET.

Since your form is doing a POST action, you should be using $_POST for both of those lines.

You could also use $_REQUEST if you're not sure whether it'll be a post or a get request, but generally it'd be better to use $_POST in your case, since you know it'll always be a post.

Answer 3

+1 A:

In the first if clause use

$store = $_POST['Store'];  //be aware of the upper case!!!!!

instead of

$store = $_GET['store'];

and everything will be fine.

Brilliant, thanks! I had also tried _POST but it was the upper case that caught me out, well spotted :)
