Hi,
Please don't reply with RTFM. I just installed Apache 2.0.36 and PHP
4.2 in Win XP Pro. Apache is running fine */localhost/ is working* and
<? phpinfo() ?> is showing the config. I have set register_globals =
On. So I practice following the source code from the book (and even
used the book's files), it seems that the form (in html) does not pass
the variable to the php file, all I can see is the html with the current
time (**echo date("H:i, jS F"); **). So if I can see the time output in
html that means PHP is working but why aren't the variables
passed/shown? I have been looking all over the mailing lists and I
can't find anybody with the exact same problem.
