Hi!
I have a problem. When i send the form to itself it doesn't get the post values.
i have tried having the sql and php code about the form in a separate page. But that didn't work either.

code:

<body>
<div id="center">
<div id="logo"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 150px; height: 100px;" alt="" src="../bilder/logga.jpg"></div>

<div id="banner"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 650px; height: 100px;" alt="" src="../bilder/slogga.jpg"></div>

<div id="menu">

<?
include 'menu.php';
?>
</div>
<div id="main">
<div class="content">
<?


//$datum = date("j/n - y H:i");
//$datum = gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
//$timezone  = +1; //(GMT -5:00) EST (U.S. & Canada)
//$datum = gmdate("j/n - y H:i:s", time() + 3600*($timezone)); 


$submit =  $_POST['submit'];
$bild =  $_POST['bild'];
$info =  $_POST['info'];
$datum =  $_POST['datum'];
$remove = $_GET['remove'];
$db = mysql_connect("lager.noh.se", "login","password");
mysql_select_db("lagernoh",$db);


if (isset($submit)) {
	
	$sql = "INSERT INTO lager (info,bild,datum) VALUES ('$info','$bild','$datum')";
	$back = mysql_query($sql);
}

if (isset($remove)) {
	
	 $back = mysql_query("DELETE FROM lager WHERE id=$remove",$db);
} 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM lager ORDER BY ID DESC",$db);




if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
	
	do{


		echo "<p align=\"center\"> <img src=\"../bilder/lager".$myrow["bild"]."\"/ ><br /><br />".$myrow["info"]."</p><br /> <p align=\"right\">"				.$myrow["datum"]." <a href=\"index.php?remove=".$myrow["id"]."\">ta bort</a></p>";

 		} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));

} else {
	echo "inget i lager just nu!";
}


?>


<form action="index.php" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
Bildnamn: <br />
<input type="text" name="bild" /> <br />
Information: <br />
<input type="text" size="80" maxlength="200" name="info" /> <br />
Datum: <br />
<input type="text" name="datum" /> <br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Lägg i lager" />
<input type="reset" value="Rensa" />
</form>

</div>
</div>

</div>
</body>

define 'does not get the post values'.

What happens if you stick a
<?php
var_dump($_POST);
?>
right at the top of your script??

Simply it doesn't send the Post values bild, info, datum through to the script...

The problem is the enctype="text/plain"

the point was to discern where your data flow breaks down
'Simply it doesn't send the Post values bild, info, datum through to the script...' can mean anything from 'script does not retrieve form data', to 'isn't stored in the database'.

As you've found, the problem was the first part, as illustrated by $_POST being empty.
And a cookie for Nathus for pointing out where the real deal is
