HTML Form Post isn’t passing variables to PHP

HTML Form Post isn’t passing variables to PHP

Hello all,

I am running Windows 98, PHP Triad Apache 1.3.14 webserver, recently upgraded PHP to 4.0.5 and my forms aren’t passing the variables to PHP anymore.

File php1.php:

<html>
<form action="php2.php" method="post">
<input type=text name="abc">
<input type=submit>
</form>
</html>

File php2.php:

<html>
<?php
echo "[".$abc."]" ;
?>
</html>

Output from connecting to php1.php (after filling in the field and clicking on “Submit Query”):

Warning: Undefined variable: abc in C:apachehtdocsphp2.php on line 3
[]

Thanks,

Charlie

RE: HTML Form Post isn’t passing variables to PHP

php Code:

Original - php Code
echo "[".$abc."]" ;

echo "[".$abc."]" ;

Try this -
<?php
echo("[" . $abc. "]");
?>
The above is ok only if Global Variables are turned ON in php.ini file. Otherwise you need to use the following format -
echo("[" . $_POST[abc] . "]");
$_POST is a Global Array of all the POSTed variables in the form.
