HTML FORM POST -RETURNS NO VARIABLES?

[keoga]

Hi All!

I have a html page with a simple form with the input type =&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;fisrtname&quot;, when I send it with post/get to another php-page, the php-page should just <?echo &quot;Hello $firstname&quot;;?>

The problem is that it echos back (Hello but no variable??)

Iam running Apache 2.0 and php is enabled.

Whats wrong!! newbie stupid?

Thanx!

how bout

$_POST[&quot;firstname&quot;] or $_REQUEST[&quot;firstname&quot;]
$_GET[&quot;firstname&quot;]

I think that is the extent of the variations to actions

Thank you onpnt!

I had to edit the php.ini file and set register_globals =on
Then it worked!

I strongly recommend leaving register_globals set to &quot;off&quot;. So does the PHP manual.

I have links to the appropriate manual sections in section 1 of my FAQ: faq434-2999
