[SOLVED] - Strange problem with POST data - Matleyx - 09-23-2020

Hi guys..
I started a new project with ci4 (my first time with 4), and I have a problem that seems really stupid: I can't pass POST data between the view and the controller. I've done a lot of test, but I don't understand where the problem lies.

The controller Test.php:

Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;

use CodeIgniter\HTTP\IncomingRequest;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\Response;

class Test extends BaseController
{

public function index()
{
            $response = service('response');       
            $request = service('request');
           
            echo $request->uri->getPath()."<br>";
            echo $request->getMethod()."<br>";
           
            if ($request->getVar('submit'))
                {
                    if (isset($_POST['name']))
                        {
                            echo "Nome: ".$_POST['name']."<br>";
                        }   
                    if (isset($_POST['lastname']))
                        {
                            echo "Cognome: ".$_POST['lastname'];
                        }
                    return view('test_1');
                } else
                    {
                        return view('test_2');
                    }
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

}

view test_1.php:

Code:
Test1 si post


view test_2.php

Code:
Test 2 nessun post
<form action="test" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="name" value="Mario" id="name">
    <input type="text" name="lastname" value="Rossi" id="lastname">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" id="submit">
</form>

When i try to submit the form, in the response, i haven't any POST data and reopen test_2 view. This is the html source code:

Code:
test<br>get<br><!-- DEBUG-VIEW START 1 APPPATH/Config/../Views/test_2.php -->

Test 2 nessun post

<form action="test" method="post">

<input type="text" name="name" value="Mario" id="name">

<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Rossi" id="lastname">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" id="submit">

</form>

<!-- DEBUG-VIEW ENDED 1 APPPATH/Config/../Views/test_2.php -->



<script type="text/javascript" id="debugbar_loader" data-time="1600851974" src="[url=http://www.yiisupertest.com/?debugbar]http://www.yiisupertest.com/?debugbar[/url]"></script><script type="text/javascript" id="debugbar_dynamic_script"></script><style type="text/css" id="debugbar_dynamic_style"></style>

I don't understand where i s the problem....
If i try without codeigniter, with only php simple file, the post data works fine.
I followed this guide:https://guidaphp.it/base/variabili-superglobali and post data work.

I don't know how to do it anymore

any help is welcome

You can process POST with:

$request = \Config\Services::request();

$name = $request->getPost('name');
$lastname = $request->getPost('lastname');

as you can see in the output, the variable "name" is empty, and there is nothing between the two strings testingname.....
I'm going crazy.....


RE: Strange problem with POST data - nc03061981 - 09-23-2020

error Logic

First

var_dump($_POST);
die();

to see your post info

No need 2 lines:
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\IncomingRequest;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\Response;

Only use:
$request = \Config\Services::request();

and Form action, you should leave empty to post to current Controller

<form action="test" method="post">

to

<form action="" method="post">

to

I added a new public function in controller with name "return" where i put var_dump($_POST); and die();
I change the action in form to test/return.

the response:


Code:
array(0) { }

I have never had all these problem in my php experience.......


For information, i testing my apache and php with this simple index.php file:
Code:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
        echo "Nome: ".$_POST['name']."<br>";
    }
   
    if (isset($_POST['lastname'])) {
        echo "Cognome: ".$_POST['lastname'];
    }
} else {
?>
<form action="/" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="name" value="Mario">
    <input type="text" name="lastname" value="Rossi">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<?php
}
?>

The output, after submit is:
Code:
Nome: Mario<br>Cognome: Rossi

The post data work fine OUTSIDE Codeigniter.......
Is there a limitation?
I there a flag that i don't know?
this is my .env file, if necessary (i'm in development environmental):

RE: Strange problem with POST data - nc03061981 - 09-23-2020

You should leave form action=''
- because your data do not post to right Controller, so you will not see post data

Sorry Nc but i don't understand.... 
If i leave blank the action, where i put var_dump? Where it going the output from the form?


RE: Strange problem with POST data - nc03061981 - 09-23-2020

Var_dump in your controller
1. Comment
// var_dump($_POST)
// die();
save file and refresh browser
2. Uncomment
var_dump($_POST)
die();
Save file and press Sumbit button

Same result:

}

RE: Strange problem with POST data - remesses_thegreat - 09-23-2020

Never tried it this way but why is the post action just the name of the function ? and not the url to the function like :

action="<?php echo base_url('ControllerName/function'); ?>"

then in your controller

$request = \Config\Services::request();

$name = $request->getVar('name');
$lastname = $request->getVar('lastname');
