Re: what's the matter?

help me! "by your command."

( a 'please' would be nice, X!) Since PHP 4.1 form data are not automatically available as variables in the followup file. http://nl.php.net/release_4_1_0.php explains it all, for now it's enough to say - either turn register_globals on in php.ini (google knows how) - or read $_POST['gender'], e.g. $gender=$_POST['gender'];
