OK, I'm new to php, so be gentle :)
I have just installed PHP 5.0.2 on Windows XP Pro\IIS 5
I am learning PHP with one of those step by step books, and I have run into an issue with forms. They don't seem to be getting the variable I am passing.
This code works:
<? $testvar = "this is a test"; print $testvar; ?>
But this does not:
<? print "You chose a $borderStyle border"; ?>
Even when I put 'filename.php?borderStyle=test' in the browser, with the entire url of course, it still only shows the print text, but not the variable.
Any thoughts? I have also verified that the mappings are set with .php with verbs set to all or even GET, POST.
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. But I think it might be that you need to use
$borderStyle = $_GET['borderStyle']; print "You chose a $borderStyle border";
or for a posted form
$borderStyle = $_POST['borderStyle']; print "You chose a $borderStyle border";

Thanks for any help
