XP and PHP

Hi New at this game. I loaded php5 on XP with the php installer. I cannot get a varable to parse. Can anyone help. I do believe it is with the instalation. I have checked the rights to the ini file and the the php directory - i gave full control to try and get it working. Set the path varable. Here is the code which is in the root directory of the IIS web site. Right are correct on these files. <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="p-3-3.php"> <BR> NAMES: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="NAMES"> <BR> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="SEND"> </FORM> </body> </html> ========================== PHP FILE ========================== <?php echo ("Names=$NAMES"); ?> My email address is stan.holmes@arivia.co.za Thanks Stan
