Echo Statement Problem
Can someone please help. I am working through a PHP for Beginners book and while I believe I have typed the code EXACTLY as it says in the book, my echo statements don't work at all. Here is the code for the HTML document that passes the variable:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FF0066" text="#000000">

<form method = "post" action= "p-6-1.php">

Enter a numeric value:
<BR> <input type = "text" name = "number">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Here is the code for the php form:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffcc33" text="#000000">
<? php
echo "The number entered was: $number";
if ($number > 10)
echo"<BR>That's a big number";

?>
</body>
</html>

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Carol

RE: Echo Statement Problem
First: <? php is wrong, must be <?php
Second: in php.ini file register_globals = On

RE: Echo Statement Problem
You can find the php.ini file in you c:windows directory.

Good luck.

RE: Echo Statement Problem
well you SHOULD leave register globals off for security reasons.. just change the way you're accessing your variables.

instead of $number, use $_POST['number']

RE: Echo Statement Problem
Notepad

It didn't like that idea. It gave a parse error expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Carol

RE: Echo Statement Problem
that just sounds like it wasn't formatted properly. any of the following should work.

echo "The number entered was: $_POST['number']";
or
echo "The number entered was: $HTTP_POST_VARS['number']";
or
$number = $POST['number'];
echo "The number entered was: $number";

Still a no-go Notepad. I tried each alternative you suggested. Thanks for trying though.

RE: Echo Statement Problem
that doesn't sound right..

add the following lines to your php code and tell me what output do you get (after you submit your html form)

echo "$REQUEST_METHOD<br>n";
print_r("$HTTP_POST_VARS");
