Assuming v4.2.x of PHP Is register_globals set to On or Off? If set to Off (default) then you need to use $_POST['lastname'] instead of $lastname, and $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of $PHP_SELF

If you have <FORM> to start where is </FORM> to end it ?

Created a simple html/php-form with a couple of inputfields like: <form action="<? echo $PHP_SELF;?>" method="post"> <input type="text" name="lastname" value="<?php echo $lastname;?> and I expected to get back the variables in the simple answerpart: <?php echo "your lastname is <br>$lastname<br>"; ...... ?> but get back nothing but the raw answer text. Code should be o.k. Perhaps some missing ini -entries? or browser-problem (MSIE5.00) ? Working with Apache 1.3.26 on W2k. Anyone a clue? thx in advance , B. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
