ID: 16860 Updated by: tal@php.net Reported By: hudsonm@steemer.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: i386-redhat-linux-gnu PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Could you please post the exact php script you used + the form file? -Tal Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-26 14:20:10] hudsonm@steemer.com Passing variables from an html form to a php script, I had a problem with a variable named 'h2'. It would not have the value from the form but would be a 'o' (lowercase o). After looking at my code multiple times I printed out the h2 variable using a script like this. <? PRINT "h1 = $h1<br>"; PRINT "h2 = $h2<br>"; PRINT "h3 = $h3<br><br>"; $h1 = 111; $h2 = 222; $h3 = 333; PRINT "h1 = $h1<br>"; PRINT "h2 = $h2<br>"; PRINT "h3 = $h3<br>"; ?> output from above script ************************************** h1 = h2 = o h3 = h1 = 111 h2 = 222 h3 = 333 Note that h2 has a value that is not assigned. This is constant, it is always a 'o'. Have noticed this on prior versions of PHP (4.0.6,???) that my hosting service has had installed.
