$_POST Variable Detected in Chrome but not in Firefox
- by user1707973
I am using 2 images in a form to sort out query results from the database. The form is submitted using the POST method. When i click on the first image, the query results have to be sorted in ascending order, and when i click on the second, the results have to be sorted in the descending order.
This is the code for the form:
<form name="" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="typep" value="price" />
<input type="image" name="sort" value="asc" src="images/asc-ar.png" />
<input type="image" name="sort" value="desc" src="images/dsc-ar.png" />
</form>
Now this is the code for checking if the $_REQUEST['sort'] variable is set and therefore whether sorting is required or not.
if ($_REQUEST['sort'] != "")
{
$sort = $_REQUEST['sort'];
$typep = $_REQUEST['typep'];
//query to be executed depending on values of $sort and $typep
}
Firefox does detect the $_REQUEST['typep'] variable but not the $_REQUEST['sort'] one.
This works perfectly in Chrome though. When i test the site in Firefox, it doesn't detect the $_REQUEST['sort'] variable and therefore the if condition evaluates to false and the search results don't get sorted.
