Sorry about not including code the first time. Here is a snippet of code I am fairly certain should be doing something. Thank you SOOO much for the help. I've been working on setting up php for four days now and EVERYTHING else works (phpinfo() calls, etc), but for some reason forms, even ones that I know should be working don't take values. They just return you to the same screen.
CODE:
<html>
<body>
<br><br>
<?=$errormessage?>
<br>
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>Your name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name"value="<?=$_POST['name']?>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Your email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" value="<?=$_POST['email']?>"><td>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>Your message:</td>
<td><textarea name="message"><?=$_POST['message']?></textarea></td></tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="name,email,message">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</body></html>
<?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
print "the form has been submitted";
}
?>

Post your code and more importantly, turn register globals off again and learn to code without them on - they're a security nightmare. -- Best regards,_________________________________________________________________ Check out the great features of the new MSN 9 Dial-up, with the MSN Dial-up Accelerator. http://click.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200361ave/direct/01/Richard mailto:rich@launchcode.co.uk
