Re: Re: WinXP Error Passing Variables (and creating)

Yours did not work as it either. Thanks for the attempt. Although a few things about your code that I thought my be the problem: - You had "<? " and not "<?php" ... even after changing that it had the same affect (I do not know if that is okay or not, that's why I changed it) -The "action" setting is seen as not even a blank space when coverted to HTML (because it unassigned or is that server default variable?) -Everything else was normal and I've seen before and it still does not work. I guess I will definately be getting Linux. THANK YOU for trying to help me get this work. I wish I could simply use XP for this stuff, but I don't have a problem getting Linux and using it either so thank you!
