Upload Form and Submit - Paypal

Like I said before, you have to submit the form on the initial page - testdir.php - to the preview.php page. You can't submit testdir to itself, obviously it's going to go through all the form code you've added at the start.

Are you talking about the form action on the testdir.php page? I have that set to go to the preview.php page.

Could it be that I have my php form code on the testdir.php page?

  $schema = loadSchema('dir_listings');
  
  // save?
  $errorsAndAlerts = '';
  
 
  
  if (@$_REQUEST['save']) {
   
   
 
    
    if ($errorsAndAlerts) {
    
   if (!@$_REQUEST['title'])             { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your listing name!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['state'])            { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your state!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['city'])             { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your city!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['zipcode'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your zip!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['address'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your address!<br/>\n"; }
    if (!@$_REQUEST['summary'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must choose a description!<br/>\n"; }
   if (!@$_REQUEST['category'])          { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must select a category!<br/>\n"; }
  }
    
   
 // save!
    if (!$errorsAndAlerts) {
mysqlStrictMode(false); // disable Mysql strict errors for when a field isn't defined below (can be caused when fields are added later)
      require_once("../../cmsAdmin/lib/user_functions.php");
      $record = array_slice_keys($_REQUEST, explode(', ', 'category, title, address, city, state, zipcode, summary'));
      
      $record = array_merge($record, array(
        'hidden'           => 1,
       'createdDate'      => mysql_datetime(),
        'createdByUserNum' => intval( @$CURRENT_USER['num'] ),
        'updatedDate'      => mysql_datetime(),
        'updatedByUserNum' => intval( @$CURRENT_USER['num'] ),
        'publishDate'      => mysql_datetime(),
 'date'             => mysql_datetime(),
        'reg_listing'      => 1,
 'url_link'        => 0,
        'neverRemove'      => 1,
      ));
      
    
}
  }
    
  $_REQUEST['preSaveTempId'] = coalesce(@$_REQUEST['preSaveTempId'], uniqid());
  
?>

Could this be causing it?

Claire,

I actually figured it out. I had an hidden field on my testdir,php page so I got it all working. My only other question is it still possible to validate the data for required fields on the first page (testdir.php) before it goes to the preview page?

If you're submitting directly to the preview page, then no, but you can still validate on the preview page before displaying it. It's not ideal, but it will work.
