The reason for this is due to the variable "$action" not having any relation to the action. Therefore, you should use the following if/then statement: if ($submit !== '') { // STATEMENTS } The "submit" name/value pair variable passed via your form is a named variable that possesses the value of "Submit Query", so you could essentially make the if/then statement be: if ($submit == 'Submit Query') { // STATEMENTS } However, you will have to ensure that the "register_globals" directive has a value of "Yes" in your PHP.ini configuration file. If you're unsure of the value of your "register_globals" directive, create and execute the following script: <? phpinfo(); ?> This function will state all of the environment variables associated with your install of PHP on your server. Hope this helps... -Zak On 6/20/04 5:18 AM, "Rinku" <rinku_pgsql@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Actually I want to use the function like > if($action="Login") > { > Statements; > } > But here I am not getting any value in $action even I click on it. > When I was using Linux at that time I had not this kind of problem. > > Rinku > Marvin Hechanova <mhechanova@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > You have to assign values to your name and action > e.g. > > [input] " value=Rinku> > [input] " type=submit value="Submit Query" > value="Login"> > > but why would you want to print the results? > > > On Sun, 20 Jun 2004 04:22:59 -0700 (PDT), Rinku wrote: >> >> Dear All, >> >> I have installed PHP on WinXp.
