Re: [Q] Problems invoking a PHP script - Have no hair left to pull - Please help [:-)

Hello, I have a similar problem whereby in the receiving PHP program the variable $Myname doesn't contain anything (i.e. echo $Myname returns nothing) however $_GET['Myname'] returns the correct value. How can this be? I attach the two short files. I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me why this is happening. It seems to me that I'm following the right conventions. I'm running this under Apache on a Windows XP system. I sent another news item today but became more enlightened by the response to this similar problem. Apologies for the superfluous item.
