Re: POST/GET problem

Sorry, there was an error... if (!empty($_POST['surname']))

      $surname=strtoupper( $_POST['surname'] );

else

     echo "Empty name";

Try reading the variable before you use it :-) For best protection, see first if something went through... if (!empty($_POST['surname']))

       $surname=strtoupper($surname);

else

      echo "Empty name";

Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct group for this problem, so apologies if I have got this totally wrong. I have just installed PHP5 on a Windows XP machine with IIS (PWS). phpinfo() seems OK. However, when I try the following test script: name.html looks like: <html> <body> <center> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="name2.php"> <table>

       <tr>
               <th width="15%" nowrap><b>First Name</b></th>
               <td width="35%"><input type=text name = "name"></td>

               <th width="15%" nowrap><b>Last Name</b></th>
               <td width="35%"><input type=text name = "surname"></td>
       </tr>

</table> <table> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit" NAME="Submit"> <INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Reset" NAME="Reset"> </table> </Form> </center> </body> </html> and name2.php looks like: <html> <body> <?php $surname=strtoupper($surname); ?> <?php echo("<h3>Hello"), $name, (" "), $surname, ("</h3>");?> </body> </html> When I run the name.html script: I get Notice: Undefined variable: surname in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\name2.php on line 5 Hello Notice: Undefined variable: name in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\name2.php on line 9 I think this works OK on PHP4 and Apache. I have looked through the FAQ's etc. But I'm not sure if this is an idiot fault or a configuration fault. Is there a requirement to declare variables in PHP5 now? Any suggestions please! Thanks Martyn
