PHP $_REQUEST variables not showing up when you submit your form?
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 29 March 2007
Had an annoying little problem with some variables I submitted to a PHP script now showing up in any of the $_REQUEST, $_POST or $_GET arrays. After an hour or so of head scratching and echoing, and print_r-ing, I figured out that my form had some duplicate form elements with identical names and IDs. This seems to have caused Firefox to completely lose MOST, but not all of the form submission. I didn't delve much further to find out what exactly was going on, I simply fixed my form and the problem went away. Strange though. It seems like the last instance of the duplicate form element on the page should have simply overridden any previous values, but not cause the loss of other variables. I didn't test in IE, so it may only be a Firefox 2.0.0.3 issue.

BBS The Documentary
This is by far the most comprehensive and entertaining documentary I have ever seen regarding the early BBS system. If you're serious about knowing your internet history, or you just want some extra geek-cred, this is your new favorite documentary.
The Nada Chair "BackUp"
The best alternative I have found to overpriced ergonomic office chairs, especially for very low pain around the sacral joint. Works better than my Aeron chair ever did. Also, it comes in navy blue and black, in case you're not into the whole pregnant woman aesthetic (pictured).It's really not meant for sitting on the floor, it's really better for seats that offer poor back support, and works great at sporting events to make sitting in bleachers much more comfortable.
Antec Quiet PC Case
At just under $120 including a 500 Watt power supply, this "quiet pc" case has worked great for me for over 2 years. In fact I now own two great Antec cases/PSUs. For the money, it's hard to beat this combination.
