Re: Re: can not get variable value from HTML form

this is due to register_globals being turned off on your 2nd server. To circumvent this, you might want to rewrite your script to: ---------------- <HTML> <?php $user="GUEST"; echo $user; ?> <FORM> Please type your name: <BR> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="username"><BR><BR> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit"> </FORM> You typed: <?php echo $_GET[username]; ?> </HTML> ----------------- - Tularis awscrib@earthlink.net wrote:

I DON'T have this problem with my development machine until I deploy the code to the production. I am using window XP home edition. I tried both apache-2.0.45 and apache -1.3.27 with both php-4.3.1 and php-4.3.2. and none of them

works.

the phpinfo(); works fine without any problem. but I could not get the variable value from the html FORM. the test program is, the link is <a target=_blank

<HTML> <?php $user="GUEST"; echo ($user); ?> <FORM> Please type your name: <BR> <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="username"><BR><BR> <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit"> </FORM> You typed: <?php echo ($username); ?> </HTML> As you can see, I can get the value for $user which is defined within

the

php code, but I can not get the value for $username from html form. Many thanks. Emmy
