Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't sure which room I should post to, so I
posted to this one and php.windows. I will only try one in the future.
I went through all the documents I could and found what these warnings were,
but nothing helped. The variables are not passed to my second script. I
went ahead and changed my form and my script. So, pass.php now looks like
this...
<form action="pass1.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="username" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit me!" />
</form>
Only username is being passed to pass1.php.
I then incorporated the code you sent me into pass1.php. It is now like
this.
<?php
// Available since PHP 4.1.0
if (isset($_POST['username']))
{
echo $_POST['username'];
}
?>
I do not receive any output now. Besides the CGI error. I can find out
about this later, but it should be outputting the username.
