Re: Newbie needs some help.

Could you provide us with some code? My first guess would be that the example in the book accesses the variables (from the form) with something like $myvariable in the PHP script. But it newer PHP versions, this is turned off by default. Try to identify the variables sent by the form and find them in the PHP script. Then, replace $myvar by $_GET['myvar'] (if the HTML form uses method=get) or by $_POST['myvar'] (if the HTML form uses method=post). But again - some code would be useful, this is just a guess :) "Bo" <bacardi_bo@hotmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:20021017112530.36093.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > I'm trying to make a simple calculate sheet for learning purposes.
