I'm sharing this one because it's so obvious when you know it, but makes you bang your head when not!
Submitting the following form, I wasn't getting any of my fields:
<form action="form.php" method="post">
<label for="firstName">First name: </label>
<input type="text" id="firstName" />
<label for="lastName">Last name: </label>
<input type="text" id="lastName" />
<label for="address">Address: </label>
<input type="text" id="address" />
<label for="age">Age: </label>
<input type="text" id="age" />
<button type="submit">Submit!</button>
</form>
Well the answer was quite straightforward: I didn't specify a name
attribute for my input
fields.
Without the name
attribute, it's impossible for the browser to send anything. So here's my working form:
<form action="form.php" method="post">
<label for="firstName">First name: </label>
<input type="text" id="firstName" name="firstName" />
<label for="lastName">Last name: </label>
<input type="text" id="lastName" name="lastName" />
<label for="address">Address: </label>
<input type="text" id="address" name="address" />
<label for="age">Age: </label>
<input type="text" id="age" name="age" />
<button type="submit">Submit!</button>
</form>
