$_Request does not seem to work *php noob here*

[jdbdline]

Hello, I am struggling with this piece of code...
I just want to do a simple html post to PHP with jQuery

<form id="login2" name="login" method="post" action="../Main/profile.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
	<h2>Login</h2> </br>
	   <table>
	<tr><td>Username: </td><td><input type="text" placeholder="Enter username" name="uUser"  id="uUser1" class="formInput"></input><td></tr>
	<tr><td>Password:  </td><td><input type="password" placeholder="Enter password" name="uPass" id="uPass1" class="formInput"></input><td></tr>
				   </table>
				</br>				
</div>
			</form>

JQuery :

$(document).ready(function()
 {
  $("#login2").submit();
 }

profile.php

<?php
        if($uUser = isset($_POST['login2']))
         {
           echo "set";
         }
         else
          echo "not set";
                
        echo $uUser;
           
?>

"not set" is displayed while I want $uUser to display

sorry my indentation is weird

Any help will be appreciated

"login2" doesnt exist.

$_POST uses the NAME attributes from your form. So you'd use uUser or uPass.

To see what gets passed with your post you can do :
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";

You have a few problems that I can see

1. As the previous poster said you don't have a field with the name Login2 in your form so there will be no post data sent through for $_POST['Login2'] as it doesn't exist (that is the id of your form)

2. Why do you want to use jQuery - what you have is a simple login form and I can't see anywhere where you would need to use jQuery to submit the form (unless some of your code is missing) and I can't even see a submit button so not sure how you are even submitting your data.

3. You have the type of the form set to enctype="multipart/form-data" which is not necessary as this is only required when you are uploading a file through the form submittal.

All you need is the form you have and then on the receiving page, change your script to:

if (isset($_POST['uUser'])) 
         { 
           echo $_POST['uUser']; 
         } 
         else {
          echo "not set"; // Not sure what this is actually for so may not even be required
         }
