Save function using button in php

Question

I have a doubt on the following code. My function is not called when the save button is clicked .

This is the following code for save function,

 if(isset($_POST['Save'])) // If the submit button was clicked
    {
        echo "hgfd";
        $post['ProductSegmentCode'] = $_POST['ProductSegmentCode'];
        $post['ProductSegment'] = $_POST['ProductSegment'];
        $post['ProductGroup'] = $_POST['productgroup'];

        // This will make sure its displayed
        if(!empty($_POST['ProductSegment'])&&!empty($_POST['ProductSegmentCode'])&&!empty($_POST['productgroup']))
        {   

                echo "SAVE";
             $news->addNews($post);
        ?>
            <script type="text/javascript">
            alert("Created Sucessfully..!!");
            </script>
            <?
        }
        else
        {
            ?>
            <script type="text/javascript">
            alert("Enter Mandatory Fields");
            </script>
            <?
        }
    }

following is the button format in html,

<div style="width:70px; height:32px; float:left; margin-top:16px; margin-left:4px;">

                      <input name="Save" type="button" class="button" value="Save">
                           </div>

What is onclick="Save" supposed to do? Is there an accompanying Javascript function? Are you misunderstanding how PHP and forms interact? — deceze

Your button is type="button"; to get the form to submit, it needs to be type="submit". Try updating it with this and it should work (also pending you form has action="post", or no action specified; the default is post):

<input name="Save" type="submit" class="button" value="Save" onclick="Save" />

Also, you're using onclick="Save" in your button. This indicates you have a corresponding JavaScript function named Save() - though, per your code examples you do not show one. I'm assuming that this is in error and can safely be removed (the value="Save" can also be removed as you only need to check isset($_POST['Save']) and not it's actual value). All changes in-place should give you:

<input name="Save" type="submit" class="button" />

If you do, in fact, have a JavaScript function named Save(), please post its code and I can revise.

use form for sending data and use type submit

<form action="" method="post">
  <input name="Save" type="submit" class="button" value="Save">
</form>

and if you want to use this

<input name="Save" type="button" class="button" value="Save" onclick="Save()">

create Save() function in javascript and use ajax call for sending data.

It looks like you should change

<input name="Save" type="button" class="button" value="Save" onclick="Save">

to a summit button.

<input name="Save" type="submit" class="button" value="Save">
