Submit a form?

[lurtnowski]

<div id="edit_circuit_breaker" class="overlay">
	<div class="popup" style="width:50%">

					  </form>

				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

the result…

why is the array empty? The page has…

<?php
session_start();

include '../../db/pdo_conn.php';

echo '<pre>';print_r($_POST);echo '</pre>';

I suspect your DB connection is failing. What do the error logs say? Do you have error reporting turned on?

POST’ing the form to the same page is ok. The problem is elsewhere.

Array
(
    [Manufacturer] => Dell
    [Model] => 4210
    [Phase] => 2
    [Voltage] => 4
    [Poles] => 2
    [amp_rating] => 6
    [Notes] => None
    [circuit_breaker_id] => 1
)

For the end of the URL to have ?id=1 on it, that’s not there in the posted action=‘…’ attribute, there’s either some javascript involved in submitting the form data or you are redirecting somewhere, adding it, and are only seeing the end result of the redirect.
