%^# nothing works. I'm going to explode.

I am SICK of this.

Even the most simple scripts, HTML forms that are supposed to return data through PHP, screw up. IS IT THAT HARD TO PRINT A VARIABLE I *JUST* ENTERED NOT TWO SECONDS AGO!?

Even copy/pasting script examples from "expert" coders make my server barf. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG?

Here's an example of a script that refuses to work on my server:

HTML filename: bwf.html

php Code:

Original - php Code
<html> <head> <title>My Form</title> </head> <body> <form action="bad_words.php" method=post> My name is: <br> <input type="text" name="YourName"> <p> My favorite dirty word is: <br> <input type="text" name="FavoriteWord"> <p> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Enter My Data!"> </form> </body> </html>

<html> 
<head> 
<title>My Form</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
 
<form action="bad_words.php" method=post> 
 
My name is:
<br> <input type="text" name="YourName"> 
 
<p> My favorite dirty word is: 
<br> <input type="text" name="FavoriteWord"> 
<p>
 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Enter My Data!">
</form>
 
</body>
</html>

bad_words.php

php Code:

Original - php Code
<html> <head> <title>Perv!</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <p> Hi <?php print $YourName; ?> <p> You like the word <b> <?php print $FavoriteWord; ?> !?! </b> <p>You oughta be ashamed of yourself! </body> </html>

<html>
<head>
<title>Perv!</title>
 
</head>
 
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
 
<p>
Hi <?php print $YourName; ?>
 
<p>
You like the word <b> <?php print $FavoriteWord; ?> !?! </b>
 
<p>You oughta be ashamed of yourself!
 
</body>
</html>

Taken straight from Webmonkey.com. Copy/pasted, after mine didn't work. I still get an undefined variable message.

If this doesn't start working soon, my server is going out the window. >:-(

RE: %^# nothing works. I'm going to explode.

Sounds like register globals may be off...instead of:

<?php print $YourName; ?>

try:

<?php print $_POST['YourName']; ?>

and the same for the other print....

RE: %^# nothing works. I'm going to explode.

in you php script you have to $yourname = $_request['yourname'];
this will store the value from your html doc into $you name. Now echo $yourname;
