Variable not passed twixt pages..

Greetings learned PHP(eople), Scenario : User fills in text box, pushes Submit and textbox data gets passed to MySQL database.. ============================================= The code from the HTML page : <form action="savemail.php" method="GET" target="main"> <input type="text" class="mailinput" name="mailaddress" value="Your Email Address"> ================================================== The code from savemail.php : <?php $result = @mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'user', 'pass'); $query = "insert into email values ('" . $_REQUEST['mailaddress'] . "')"; //Error stuff------------------------------------------------- $ResSaveMail = mysql_query($query); if (!$ResSaveMail) { echo("<P>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</P>"); echo("Your email has not been saved to the Delta Database."); exit(); } //------------------------------------------------------------ ?> ======================================= THe problem : The variable 'mailaddress' is not getting passed to savemail.php echo $_REQUEST['mailaddress'] reveals blank.... On another programmers advice I tried using POST in my form, but that don`t work either.. The database is getting populated with blank values...is my problem in the php code somewhere..I been playing with this for a while now and no joy has yet surfaced.. Any ideas greatly appreciated... -- Chris Blake Office : (011) 782-0840 Cell : 083 985 0379 Then there was the Formosan bartender named Taiwan-On.
