button stopped making POST request

Question

I am facing a strange issue here,I had a piece of code which was working fine until yesterday.Suddenly my button has stopped making POST Request. Below is the sample code.When i click on the button btnsubmit ,the page gets redirected to view_teacherupdate.php but it doesnt print "button submitted";

<form  method="post" action="view_teacherUpdate.php">
  <input type="submit" name="btnsubmit" value="submit"/>
</form>

view_teacherUpdate.php

if(isset($_POST["btnsubmit"]))
{
  echo "button submitted";
}

I have enabled error_reporting(E_ALL); but I am not getting any error or warning.

Session is enabled in both pages.

any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

<button id="btnUpdate" name="btnUpdateNew" value="btnUpdateNew"  type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>

      </form>

Answer 1

The code you submitted contains 2 submit-buttons (1 < button >, 1 < input type="submit" >. Depending on the button pressed, a different value is actually submitted. I guess that the form only adds the button (or element type=submit) that was actually clicked to the POST-data (which makes sense from an UI-standpoint)

Depending on the button pressed I either got

Array ( [btnsubmit] => Verzenden )

or

Array ( [btnUpdateNew] => btnUpdateNew )

("Verzenden" is the dutch translation for Send, as the browser translates this)

So, could it be that you were pressing the wrong button by any chance?

<form  method="post" action="view_teacherUpdate.php">
  <input type="submit" name="btnsubmit"/>
  <button id="btnUpdate" name="btnUpdateNew" value="btnUpdateNew" type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
</form>
