Hi, This could be a silly mistake or it could be a sign of configuratin problems. Simply put, my submitted form variables are not reaching the recieving end: A form: <form method=post action="testForm.php"> <input type="text" name="testVar"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> A recieving file testForm.php: <html> <body> <?php printf("<br>testVar is : %s", $testVar); ?> </body> </html> When entering value like testtest in the form element I still get the following in the recieving file: testVar is : i.e. the form variable is not submitted or not recieved. I also tried doing it through the url .../testForm.php?testVar=whatever and still the testVar is empty. Is there a configuration problem I should be aware of as clearly it is not a code issue? Also want to add that php has been functioning otherwise including using database connectivity ... So do I have to set a variable in the configuration files of Apache to enable forms and url variables to be processed? If anybody could shed a light on this I would be most greatful Thanks, b. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
