Hi Petre, Thanks for the reply, I have actually tried this too and all the
output I get is "Welcome !" but the username that was entered into the form
box should appear between the Welcome and !, Please take a look at the code
below:
>>First page named: jobapp.html
-<HTML>
<!-- Jobapp.html-->
<BODY>
<H1>Practice app</H1>
<p>Fill in the name and echo it back to the user.</p>
<FORM NAME='frmJobApp' METHOD=post action="jobapp_action.php">
Please enter your name:
<INPUT NAME="applicant" TYPE="text"><br>
<INPUT NAME="enter" TYPE="submit" VALUE="Enter">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
---------------------------------------
>>Second page: named jobapp_action.php
<HTML>
<!-- jobapp_action.php-->
<BODY>
<p>Welcome <?php echo $applicant; ?>!</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>
