RE: [PHP-WIN] I've found the cause of the error but I cant fix it.

If you're used to running on a system with register_globals turned ON then you might run into a snag with something like this since the GET and POST values aren't automatically assigned to the variables you're trying to echo. You need to do: $variablename = $_GET["variablename"]; Or... $variablename = $_POST["variablename"]; Or.. $variablename = $_REQUEST["variablename"]; The last one (REQUEST) will populate the $variablename variable with either GET or POST data so can be used for either. I forget the order that it takes it though, I believe it essentially does: If (isset($_POST["variablename"])) $variablename = $_POST["variablename"]; If (isset($_GET["variablename"])) $variablename = $_GET["variablename"]; (or vice versa) So if both $_POST["variablename"] and $_GET["variablename"] are both set, then the data stored in the GET overwrites the POST data previously assigned to $variablename. It IS possible to pass both POST and GET data at the same time: <form action="index.php?GETVARIABLE=testget" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="POSTVARIABLE" value="testpost"> </form> Var_dump($_REQUEST) will have both GETVARIABLE and POSTVARIABLE values ("testget" and "testpost" respectively) available where as $_GET only has the GETVARIABLE value ("testget") and $_POST only has the POSTVARIABLE value ("testpost") -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Alejandro César Garrammone [mailto:agarrammone@afip.gov.ar] > Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 11:48 PM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-WIN] I've found the cause of the error but I > cant fix it. > > > Hi all, > The problem is the GET and the POST method. > I've create a simple form and I pass my name on it, on the > other hand, on the file referenced in the form, I put an echo > with the variable, and it doesn't print it.
