 Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 7:49 pm Post subject: accessing $_POST variables within an included tpl file |
 |
|
I'm having issues getting the $_POST variable for the tpl file included in the tpl file, like this:
edit.tpl
| Code: |
{include file="link.tpl" alternate_directory="../admin/" returnType="url" urlName="pageurl" selectedUrl=$item.url required=true}
|
link.tpl
| Code: |
<input id="itemText" type="text" value="http://" title="Please enter a valid URL." style="width:100%;" class="url" />
|
How can I get the value of the input field in the POST variable? |

{$smarty.post.itemType}? (you might want to set the name attribute)

| how would I use the {$smarty.post.itemType} in my code? I'm still somewhat new to Smarty. I want to be able to access this variable from within my PHP code that is rendering these tpl files. (By the way, I'm still on Smarty 2) |

| Printing out the $smarty variable in my PHP code during and after the form has been processed shows that I don't have the value of the input field anywhere in the $smarty variable |

This is what I'm expecting:
PHP
| Code: |
$itemText = $_POST['itemText'];
|
But 'itemText' isn't even a member of the $_POST variable! 'pageurl' is a member of the $_POST variable, but has an empty value! What's going on? The included tpl file (link.tpl) is in a form. |

is missing the name attribute! instead you're setting the id attribute which, unless you need that in CSS or JS, gets you nowhere. <input> elements without a name a re not POSTed back to the server.
