$input->post["{variable}"] empty?

[paulbrause]

Hi!

I have a formular like this:

<form action="/test/" method="post">
<input type="text" name="test[1234]['value1']" />
<input type="text" name="test[1234]['value2']" />
<input type="text" name="test[1234]['value3']" />
<input type="text" name="test[2345]['value1']" />
<input type="text" name="test[2345]['value2']" />
<input type="text" name="test[2345]['value3']" />
...
<input type="hidden" id="_post_token" name="{$this->session->CSRF->getTokenName()}" value="{$this->session->CSRF->getTokenValue()}"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" />
</form>

For testing the processing of the form looks likes this:

if($input->post->submit && $session->CSRF->validate()) {
 $data_pw = $input->post["test"];
 $data_post = $_POST["test"];
 echo "<pre>";
 print_r($data_pw);
 print_r($data_post);
 echo "</pre>";
}

But i always get something like this...

Array
(
)

Array
(
    [1234] => Array
        (
            ["value1"] => "Test"
            ["value2"] => "Hi"
            ["value3"] => "Hello again"
        )
    [2345] => Array
        (
            ["value1"] => "Oh no"
            ["value2"] => "Wait, what?"
            ["value3"] => "Bye bye"
        )

)

Why is $input->post["test"] returned as an empty array?

Am i doing something wrong? (using PW 3.0.18)

PW doesn't allow for multidimensional post arrays. https://processwire.com/talk/topic/691-wireinput-only-allows-one-dimensional-arrays-why/

Thanks Soma!

Will use $_POST["test"] instead...

[NoremPload]

got a similar problem

<form id="testform" class="col s12 InputfieldForm" name="testform" method="post" action="" data-colspacing="1">

<input placeholder="w / kW" id="power" name="power" type="text">

<input value="8,5" id="price" name="price" type="text">

.

.

</form>

 

after sending the form i get following output

 

with=>

print_r($input->post);
print_r($_POST);

ProcessWire\WireInputData Object

)

Array
(
    [power] => 
    [days] => 3
    [price] => 8,5
    [power_form_sent] => 1
    [submit] => submit
)

tried to change action to full URL etc, did not help

any ideas ?

print_r($input->post);

 

You need to call this as a function to get all POST data:

$input->post();

Thx!

OMG, found a typo somewhere else

i checked for

$input->post["power_form_sent"]

and it was empty because of the typo
