Disappearing $variables!
I'm attempting to create an "in-site" mail system using the following code (BTW - I am a three month newbie to programming and PHP). The sender's info is drawn from a cookie ($userCook) and the recipient's info is carried over via url ($sendmess). Both work until the submit button is pressed.
Code follows:
PHP Code:
<?php
// Get timestamp
$now = date("g:ia D m/d/y");
// Include ezSQL in order to use it..
include_once "ez_sql.php";
// Get username from cookie
global $userCook;
// Get user info from users table and cache it..
$user = $db->get_row("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$userCook'");
// Get userId the 'primary_key' from users table
$memberID = ($user->userId);
// Get user info from users table and cache it..
$mailto = $db->get_row("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$sendmess'");
// Get userId the 'primary_key' from users table
$sendmessID = ($mailto->userId);
if($BeenSubmitted) {
if($sendplmail = $db->query ("INSERT INTO messages VALUES ('null', '$memberID', '$sendmessID', '$now', '{$_POST['strMessHead']}', '{$_POST['strMessBod']}', '', '')"))
{
?>
When the form is submitted, all info except the "$sendmessID" gets inserted into the db. Somehow that variable disappears! I know it has the value that I am expecting because I use it to echo the username onto the mail form.
ARRRG! What Gives!?!?
- TIA!
