Form data not passing to PHP

I have what should be a simple form to pass data to a php page. The fo开发者_Go百科rm is:

<form action="php/setlist.php" method="post"> 
<input type="text" id="SetListName" />
<input type="hidden" id="newList" name="newList" value="" readonly="readonly" style="border: none;">
<input type="submit" style="width:150px;"><br /><br />

and the php is:

$SetListSave = $_REQUEST['newList'];
$SetListName= $_REQUEST['SetListName'];

echo $SetListName;
echo $SetListSave;

I am getting the newList from the form just fine but the SetListName isn't getting passed. I am a novice with php so I could be missing something basic here, but I am stumped.

You are missing name attribute in:

<input type="text" id="SetListName" />

Replace

<input type="text" id="SetListName" />

with

<input type="text" id="SetListName" name ="SetListName"/>

You need to have a 'name' attribute in the form for each input field that you want to read in PHP. So you're code should read:

<form action="php/setlist.php" method="post"> 
<input type="text" id="SetListName" name="SetListName"/>
<input type="hidden" id="newList" name="newList" value="" readonly="readonly" style="border: none;">
<input type="submit" style="width:150px;"><br /><br />

use

<input type="text" id="SetListName" name="SetListName" />

you have not used name attribute
