I am currently working on a php project. the project involves a basic form you fill out your name, the date, and whatever you want to write in 3 separate fields. Once you are done you click the Updae! button after this whatever you wrote should be sent to whatever page you are updating and it should be SAVED. I have made the form page, and i attempted to make the PHP code i got it to work and all, all but the content you wrote to save on the page. It sends it to the page but it dosent save. any ideas?

Alright here is the form code w/ some of the php:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<body bgcolor="black" text="gray">

<form action="update.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Header" size="24" border="0"><br>
<input type="text" name="Date" size="24" border="0">
<p><textarea name="body" rows="18" cols="39"></textarea></p>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Update">
</form>

and here is the PHP document 'update.php'


<html>

<head>
<title>Testing</title>
</head>

<body
<h1>TOD</h1>
<h2>UPDATE</h2>
<?php
$header = $HTTP_POST_VARS['header'];
$date = $HTTP_POST_VARS['date'];
$body = $HTTP_POST_VARS['body'];

echo $header.' <br />';
echo $date.' <br />';
echo $body.' <br />';

?>

It's not writing it to the page because you are simply echoing the $_POST variables out.

Take a look at this post: http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22218#post115781.
