Form not showing up inside PHP code, but works fine if plain HTML

[petschephp]

Hello, I am trying to make a form display on my page, but it will not show up.
I've tried just using the form code and it works fine on an html page.


here is the code

<?php
include("classes/privateleague.class.php");
$private = new private_league();
$league = $_GET['league'];

if($private->check_if_user_exists_in_league($league, $_SESSION['id']))
{


//Displays league details
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pleagues WHERE id='".$league."'") or die(mysql_error());
echo "<b>League Details:</b><br>";
while($data2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
$exp_date = $data2['startdate'];
$idd =  $data2['id'];
echo "Name: ".$data2['name']."<br>
Start Date: ".$data2['startdate']."<br>
End Date: ".$data2['enddate']."<br>
Total players per team: ".$data2['totalplayerallowed']."<br>
Total players value: ".$data2['totalplayervalue']."<br>

";
  if($data2['owner'] == $_SESSION['id'])
  {
  echo "<a href=\"index.php?p=editleague&id=".$data2['id']."\"><font size=\"1\">Edit league</font></a><br>";
  echo "<a href=\"index.php?p=manageusers&id=".$data2['id']."\"><font size=\"1\">Manage Users</font></a><br><br>";
  }
}
if($_GET['league'])
{
  //Display Users Teams for a Private League
  $sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pteams WHERE league='".$league."'") or die(mysql_error());
  echo "<b>My Teams</b><br />";
  while($data = mysql_fetch_array($sql2))
  {
    if($data['userid'] == $_SESSION['id'])
	{
	echo "".$data['name']."<br><br>";
	}
  }
}
?>
<a href="index.php?p=viewpteams&league=<?php echo $league ?>">View all league teams</a><br>
<?php 
$todays_date = date("Y-m-d"); 
$today = strtotime($todays_date); 
$expiration_date = strtotime($exp_date); 

if ($expiration_date > $today) 
{ $valid = "yes"; 
} 
else 
{ 
$valid = "no"; 
}
  if($valid == 'yes')
  {
echo $valid;
  ?>
<?php
  $sql666 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pleagues WHERE id = '".$_GET['id']."'") or die(mysql_error());
  while($data66 = mysql_fetch_array($sql666))
  {
?>
<form action="index.php?p=pjoin" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_GET['id'] ?>" name="id" />
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $data66['totalplayervalue'] ?>" name="totalvalue" />
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $data66['totalplayerallowed'] ?>" name="players" />
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_GET['id'] ?>" name="price" />
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $data66['name'] ?>" name="name" />
<input type="text" value="name" name="name" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
<?php
  }
?>
  <?
 
  echo "<a href=\"index.php?p=lp&id=$idd\">Create another team</a>";
  } 
  
}
  ?>

My first guess is that the following line returns false:

if($private->check_if_user_exists_in_league($league, $_SESSION['id'])) 

To check, put this before the if statement:

echo ($private->check_if_user_exists_in_league($league, $_SESSION['id'])) ? 'this works fine' : 'this is your problem'; 

Another guess would be that a syntax error is causing the page to blank out.

Try putting the following code at the top of your page to find any errors:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 2);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$private->check_if_user_exists_in_league($league, $_SESSION['id'])

I fixed it, Thanks though

What was the problem?

Might be useful for others with a similar problem.

We'll I did a mysql num rows for the sql query I wrote, and it turns out that I was calling the wrong get variable, I was calling $_GET['id'] instead of $_GET['league']

Once I counted the rows and it came back as 0 I knew what the problem was.
