ANYBODY .... HELP ME ,..., REDHAT9 and PHP
Why my PHP doesnt send variables from the <input> fields???
I have the linux, I think the most problematic one ....RedHat Linux 9 Shrike ........
I dont know, what`s the problem.
I write a simple *.htm page that contains the minimal.
/************* index.html***************/
<html>
<form action="next.php">
Login:
// here I use any method, POST or GET ... no use.
<p><input type = text name = "login" method="post"></p>
<p><input type = submit></p>
</form>
</html>
/**************** next.php********************/
<?php
echo $login;
//HERE NOTHING PRINTS ,..., EMPTY ,...,
//however, the URL is set with the variables, and their values.
//I think it simply wont send the variables.. WHY????
//if it must be configured in conf files, please tell me. //or I`ll think this RH9 sucks .....
?>

Read http://www.php.net/register_globals

Learn to use $_GET and $_POST

Try this....

<?php

$login=$_POST['login'];

echo $login;

?>

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you want that "method='post'" in your <form> tag and not your <input> tag.

*Edit*
Also surround your types with quotes.

<input type="text" ... />
<input type="submit" />

Hi,

There is another way to make form variables global ..even when register_global is off....try it...
<?

foreach($_POST as $a=>$b)
{
$$a=trim(stripslashes($b));
}

similarly for $_GET you can do....add at the top of script which processes the form...

What a waste of memory resources though?

Well even your solution has the same issues. It just best to use $_POST and $_GET directly.
