RE: [PHP] not getting form variables using POST.

Try to just echo your variables by using: echo($uname); echo($password); Make sure the target name is correct, maybe check case. Your password field is hidden which means it is not shown, for password you must use type="password" If you want to use hidden types, you must give it a value, otherwise it is just empty, use value="blablabla" D. -----Original Message----- From: Deepak Chawla [mailto:dchawla@usa.unl.edu] Sent: vrijdag 27 oktober 2000 12:28 To: Dominick Vansevenant Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] not getting form variables using POST. yes.
