Re: Strange Problem

The problems is most likely that your <FORM> has no METHOD or ACTION. You need something like: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="<?=$PHP_SELF?>"> Some browsers will default the action to the current script so this will actually work and some do not. Either way you always should have a METHOD and an ACTION in a FORM tag. - Jamie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Opec Kemp ( Ozemail )" <okemp@ozemail.com.au> To: "True Software Solutions Private Limited" <info@truesoft.net> Cc: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 3:47 PM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Strange Problem > Hi, > > >From what I've seen of your code snipplet, you didn't set any value to the $name variable.
