Flask request.form[] not pulling data

I am trying to post a simple html form and pull the data into python/flask. request.form does not appear to be pulling my form data.
I have a function created to pull the variables if the request method is POST, but the URL ends up with the variables being blank. See code below
#app.route('/inquire',methods=['POST','GET'])
def inquire():
if request.method == 'POST':
name = request.form['dname']
email = request.form['demail']
message = request.form['dmessage']
return
redirect(url_for('inquire_success',name=name,email=email,message=message))
return render_template('inquire.html')
#app.route('/inquiresuccess/',methods=['POST','GET'])
def inquire_success(name,email,message):
return render_template('inquiresuccess.html',name=name,email=email,message=message)
the html below :
<div class="container">
<div class="main">
<form method="post" class="form" action="{{
url_for('inquire_success' }}">
<h2>Inquire below and we'll get back to you</h2>
<label>Name :</label>
<input type="text" name="dname" id="dname" value="name">
<label>Email :</label>
<input type="text" name="demail" id="demail" value="email">
<label>Project info :</label>
<textarea class="messagebox" name="dmessage" id="dmessage"
value="message">
</textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value=Submit>
</form>
I would like the code to redirect me to inquiresuccess.html with the variables displayed. Thanks for any help.

The form looks to be posting to the wrong endpoint. Try changing
<form method="post" class="form" action="{{ url_for('inquire_success' }}">
to
<form method="post" class="form" action="{{ url_for('inquire' }}">

The problem is you are using encrypt but you need to use enctype
e.g.
<form action="send_news" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
See What does enctype='multipart/form-data' mean? for more info if needed.

How to get the latest ID from different class in Django

I saw all the conversations about this issue, but I can't solve it. I am new in this Python-Django programming so if anyone can help me? :)
This is my views.py:
class HistoryProjectCreate(CreateView):
template_name = 'layout/create_proj_history.html'
model = ProjectHistory
project = Project.objects.latest('id')
user = User.id
fields = ['user', 'project', 'user_start_date']
success_url = reverse_lazy('git_project:index')
Var project has to return latest project ID from database, and I have to use it ID in my html form:
<form class="form-horizontal" action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<label for="user"></label>
<input id="user" type="text" name="user" value="{{ user.id }}" ><br>
<label for="project">Project title: </label>
<input id="project" type="text" name="project" value="{{ project.id }}" ><br>
<!--Here - "project.id" I need latest project ID-->
<label for="user_start_date">Start date: </label>
<input id="user_start_date" type="date" name="user_start_date" value="{{ projectHistory.user_start_date }}" ><br>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I am not sure if project = Project.objects.latest('id') is correct statement for getting the latest ID from Project table.

If you want the last Id of project, you need to order by id, and use last() function available on queryset
project = Project.objects.order_by('id').last()

Bad Request with Flask

really struggling with this bad request from flask. I know normally it caused by flask not finding the [key] in the form.. However, I've checked my form and python code 40 times and cannot see any reason that would be the case.. I have commented out each line of the python code that references request.form. I have done it 1 by 1 and I still get a bad request. However when I comment out all the lines the bad request goes away.. Any thought would be wonderful..
Python code;
if request.method == 'POST':
form = 'Add Package Form'
clientId = request.form['id']
date = request.form['date2']
strPrice = request.form['price']
price = float(strPrice)
adultlessons = request.form['adult']
juniorlessons = request.form['junior']
shortlessons = request.form['short']
playinglessons = request.form['playing']
notes = request.form['notes']
form..
<form action="/addpackage" method="post" class="sky-form">
<fieldset>
<section>
<label class="label">Select Package Date</label>
<label class="input">
<i class="icon-append fa fa-calendar"></i>
<input type="text" name="date2" id="date">
</label>
</section>
<div style="margin: -25px"></div>

This is something of a half-answer, but it was too long for a comment.
If you enable debugging in your Flask app you should get a detailed traceback indicating exactly where the problem is occurring (both in the browser and on your console).
If your application currently has something like:
app.run()
Just set the debug parameter to true:
app.run(debug=True)
If after enabling debugging you're still not sure what's causing the problem, update your question to include the traceback.
For what it's worth, if I dump your form and your code into a simple Flask app, it all seems to work just fine as long as I provide a numeric value for the price field.

Usually you'll get a 400 Bad Request in Flask while submitting a form when you try and access a form key in the request object that doesn't exist.
This is because the request.form object inherits its __getitem__ method the Multidict class in the werkzeug.datastructures module which raises a BadRequestKeyError when a key doesn't exist.

You should give the form data a default value to avoid HTTP 400 error, like this:
default_value = True
is_public = request.form.get('public', default_value)
However, I recommend you to use Flask-WTF.
With Flask-WTF, your code can be simplify to this (an example):
import ...
app = Flask(__name__)
class EditProfileForm(Form):
name = StringField('name', validators=[Length(0, 64)])
location = StringField('city', validators=[Length(0,64)])
website = StringField('website', validators=[Length(0,64), render_kw={"placeholder": "http://..."})
about_me = TextAreaField('Bio', validators=[Length(0,2000)], render_kw={"placeholder": "I'm......"})
submit = SubmitField(u'submit')
#app.route('/edit-profile', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def edit_profile():
form = EditProfileForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
current_user.name = form.name.data
current_user.location = form.location.data
current_user.website = form.website.data
current_user.about_me = form.about_me.data
db.session.add(current_user)
flash('Update success!', 'success')
return redirect(url_for('.user', username=current_user.username))
return render_template('edit_profile.html', form=form)
In your html file:
<form method="POST" action="/">
{{ form.hidden_tag() }}
{{ form.name.label }} {{ form.name() }}
{{ form.location.label }} {{ form.location() }}
...
</form>
By the way, if you use Flask-Bootstrap, you can just use one line to render the whole form:
{% import "bootstrap/wtf.html" as wtf %}
{{ wtf.quick_form(form) }}
I hope it will help.

Django forms workaround

I'm a bit confused with all the django stuff and forms, I hope you can help me.
I'm migrating a cmd line app to django, and I think I don't need to mess with models (db) atm. I just would like to pass the parameters filled in a form to a python script that use these fields as parameters. I would like to keep my html code and skip render the form with a python form class since it has a lot of css code inside each one.
At the moment I have this form:
<form class="nobottommargin" id="template-contactform" name="template-contactform" action="{% url 'get_data' %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="col_half">
<label for="name">Project Name <small>*</small></label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="{{ current_name }}" class="sm-form-control required" />
</div>
<div class="col_half col_last">
<label for="group">Project Group <small>*</small></label>
<input type="text" id="group" name="group" value="{{ current_group }}" class="required sm-form-control" />
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="col_half">
<label for="version">Project Version<small>*</small></label>
<input type="text" id="version" name="version" value="{{ current_version }}" class="required sm-form-control" />
</div>
<div class="col_half col_last">
<label for="pType">Project Type<small>*</small></label>
<select id="pType" name="pType" class="required sm-form-control">
<option value="">-- Select One --</option>
<option value="bundle">Bundle</option>
<option value="multiple">Multiple</option>
<option value="git">Git</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col_half">
<label for="pPath">Project path<small>*</small></label>
<input type="text" id="pPath" name="pPath" value="{{ current_path }}" class="required sm-form-control" />
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="col_full hidden">
<input type="text" id="template-contactform-botcheck" name="template-contactform-botcheck" value="" class="sm-form-control" />
</div>
<div class="col_full" style="margin: 50px 0 0 0 ">
<button class="button button-3d nomargin" type="submit" id="template-contactform-submit" name="template-contactform-submit" value="submit">Create Project</button>
</div>
</form>
So, I want to figure out what's the best way to write the get_data function. I also need some sort of custom validation about some fields that involves other checks that exceeds the basic checks, such as max_chars on each field. That means I need to create some sort of my own form.is_valid() function.
Hope you can help me!
