Hi Mike, You are a sharp one but alas that is not my real code. The real code for displaying var1 and var2 is: echo " <p>variable 1 : $var1 </p> <br> "; echo " <p>variable 2 : $var2 </p> <br> "; I have tried so many things to get this working, I am starting to think it is a CGI problem. -----Original Message----- From: Ford, Mike [mailto:M.Ford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: December 22, 2004 4:16 AM To: Keane, Warren A FIN:EX; php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: _POST, _GET, _REQUEST not working To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to http://disclaimer.leedsmet.ac.uk/email.htm On 20 December 2004 21:50, Warren wrote: > Hello, > > I am running PHP 4.39 as a CGI under Tomcat 5.025, Linux 2.4.20-31.9. > Configure = './configure' '--with-java=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04' > '--with-servlet=/home/www/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25' '--with-mysql' > > I cannot get the _GET function or _REQUEST functions to pick > up values from > a form generating even though I can see the query string > values in the URL > as in: > http://localhost:8080/ip7/httptest.php?var1=212122&var2=343434 > > My HTML is very simple: > > <form action="http://localhost:8080/ip7/httptest.php"; method="get"> > <input type="text" name="var1"> > <input type="text" name="var2"> > <input type="submit"> > </form> > > The PHP program httptest.php is also very simple: > > <?PHP > global $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE; > > if(!empty($_REQUEST['var1'])) { $var1 = $_REQUEST['var1']; } > else { $var1 ='undefined'; } > > if(!empty($_GET['var2'])) { $var2 = $_GET['var2']; } > else $var2 ='undefined'; > > // Various HMTL tags removed for simplicity > echo $var1 > echo $var1 Is this a direct paste from your original? If so, there's an obvious error here -- one of those should be $var2,'cos as it is you're never even echoing the value of the $_GET parameter. Cheers!
