Not getting correct results from $_POST

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Please suggest what I have done wrong with the following lines of php:-

$MachineNum = $_POST['led'];   // led is the variable in the html that calls this php

$SQL = sprintf("select a_date, a_time, amnt from register where mac_name = %s and message_id = 34 or message_id = 35 order by a_date desc, a_time desc", $MachineNum);

when I attempt to see what is in $SQL via a printf I get

select a_date, a_time, amnt from jackpot_register where mac_name = '' and message_id = 34 or message_id = 35 order by a_date desc, a_time desc

I suspect that my C programming roots are showing but after a few hours of looking I am just getting frustated.

I have tried printing and there is nothing in $MachineNum and $_REQUEST & $_GET gives the same result, nothing.

I have also checked the HTML page that does the call and it definately says method="post"
