[pmwiki-users] PmForm won't save data to page

[Knut Alboldt]

Hi !
I tried to use pmform (instead of ZAP) to support form-input for some 
datapages.
Tried the samples, worked well.
Extended some of the definition, now I get the problem, that the data 
aren't written back any more.

Implemented a trace in pmform.php and found out that the call of 
UpdatePage($pagename,$old,$new) was ok, $old contained the right old 
data (eg var=1), $new the new data (e.g. var=2 entered via the form). 
But having a look in tha page's file: nothing had changed, stil 
containing "var=1". So it wasn't read by the (:input source= ..:)-markup 
when the form was displayed the nex time.
Second try:
Changed "var" from "1" to "3"
The next Trace of UpdatePage() shows the previous entered data (var=2) 
in the $old-Array although it wasn't saved in the page-file (!) and the 
last entered data (var=3) in the $new-array.
But again the page's file still contains "var=1".
Has it something to do with caching, etc ?

When I change the data in the page-file manually, the changed value is 
taken over whith the next display of the form, that's all ok.

Could anybody please help ?

Thanks in advance, Knut



The pmform-Definitions are as follows:



test.php (group's config):

<?php
$PmForm['testsavedata'] = 'form=#testsavedataform fmt=#testsavedata';
?>
