I now see what must be done to get the script to run (upload). But this is a site for tuition and I think we novices can easliy miss what, to you, can be "obvious." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-17 16:12:03] office at surfport dot com Description: ------------ Hi. Apparent web site bug in example "Dealing with forms" 2-6 and 2-7. I have copied-and-pasted both sets of code, creating two pages. When I enter data in the first and hit "submit" the second page does not output as expected. Instead, it outputs the actual code. BBEdit 8.24 for page construction, Safari 2.03 for display. Cheers, grh Next field is the code on my two pages. Only the first gives me an expected result. Reproduce code: --------------- <form action="action.php" method="post"> <p>Your name: <input type="text" name="name" /></p> <p>Your age: <input type="text" name="age" /></p> <p><input type="submit" /></p> </form> --------------------------------------------------------- Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>. You are <?php echo $_POST['age']; ?> years old. Expected result: ---------------- As reported in your example Actual result: -------------- Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>. You are <?php echo $_POST['age']; ?> years old. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37479&edit=1
