Hi! I'm new to PHP, so this may be an easy question. I tried to make a simple form-page, where the user enters his name, and on the following page it says "Hello $name". What happens is that on the second page it says soemthing like "unknown identifier $name". I'm using Apache 2 so that may be causing the problem, cause this is a clear textbook example: ---------------------- first.php ---------------------- <html> <head> <title>First</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#cbda74" vlink="#808040" alink="#808040"> <form action="second.php" method="post"> <b>Whats your name?</b> <input type="text" name="name" size="20" maxlength="20" value=""><br> <input type="submit" value="go!"> </form> </body> --------------- second.php -------- <html> <head> <title>Second</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#cbda74" vlink="#808040" alink="#808040"> <? print "Hello $name!"; ?> </body> </html> -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
