RE: [PHP] html input and php (newbie)

Hi Anna, Your REGISTER_GLOBALS is most probably set to OFF (see php.ini file). Try using the special $_POST array created by PHP: if ($_POST['submit'] == "click"){ echo "Hello, $_POST[UserName]"; } If your form was using the GET method you would need the $_GET array.
