Re: displaying variables, a simple question

Well depending on how you are displaying this page i have some ideas if you are passing a variable to it from another page (ie .. page.php?breed=something ( or via post )) your online site might register_globals turned on so that works fine but PHP has register_globals tured off by default for reasons that i would leave them off and write your code the right way. In that case you could use <?php echo $_REQUEST['breed'] ?> for any method <?php echo $_POST['breed'] ?> only post vars. <?php echo $_GET['breed'] ?> only get vars. if you do have register_globals turned on, on your server then it might be IIS i use Apache at home but am forced to use IIS @ work : ( and i get all kinds of errors when i try totake a script i made that works on apache and run it on IIS so you might want to try this <?= $_REQUEST['breed'] ?> or <?= $breed ?> Hope this helps "Acorn Tutors" <info@acorntutors.com> wrote in message news:20030513122015.59735.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > Hi folks.
