reading form inputs flask python

Question

hi
I used this codes to post a text from my HTML file to python and write it in a file but it doesn't work, actually, I think submit button is not working
<table>
<form action="{{ url_for('reports') }}" method="POST">
<tr>
<td><input name="name"></td>
<td><input name="terminal_number"></td>
<td><input name="terminal_serial"></td>
<td> <input name="ise"></td>
<td><input type="submit"></td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>
AND in my .py file :

def reports():
if 'user' in session:
user = session['user'].is_admin()
else:
user=False

if request.method == 'POST':
text = request.form['name']
processed_text = text.upper()
file2write=open("/testest.txt",'w')
file2write.write("here goes the data")
file2write.close()
return processed_text
return render_template('pages/reports.html',admin=user )

Answer 1

okay got it ...
we shouldn't define form in table
try this :

<form action="{{ url_for('reports') }}" method="POST">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input name="name"></td>
<td><input name="terminal_number"></td>
<td><input name="terminal_serial"></td>
<td> <input name="ise"></td>
<td><input type="submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
