Thanks everyone, it worked -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Jameson (USA) [mailto:RJameson@usa.ibs.org] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 4:14 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: Simple PHP Script It's the good ole' register_globals feature... You'll need to either turn register_globals on in your php.ini file or access the variables from their respective arrays ($_SERVER,$_GET,$_POST)... since your form method is post it will be: $_POST['vname']. Make sense? If you put this at the top of your page it will extract these all for you: if (!empty($_SERVER)) extract($_SERVER); if (!empty($_GET)) { extract($_GET); } else if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS)) { extract($HTTP_GET_VARS); } if (!empty($_POST)) { extract($_POST); } else if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { extract($HTTP_POST_VARS); } ........ <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Poon, Kelvin (Infomart) [mailto:kpoon@infomart.ca] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 2:12 PM To: 'php-db@lists.php.net' Subject: Simple PHP Script Hi, I am new to PHP and had just written a simple php script to get things started. I have the following code: <html> <body> <?php if($submit1) { echo "hello $vname"; } else { ?> <form action="thispage.php" method=post> <table> <tr><td>Input yourname</td><td><input type=text name=vname></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=2><input type=submit name=submit1></td></tr> </table> </form> <?php } ?> </body> </html> So this page is suppose to display a input box and a submit button and once you enter ur name and press the button, it should show Hello [ur name] and the input box at the bottom of it and the button below and the process continue. I tried running it and inputted some text and pressed the button, and the Hello [ur name] didn't show up, it just display an input box and the submit button. Can someone please help me?
