Re: (should be) easy questions from a beginner

Hi, I just made a test. <html> <head> </head> <body> <form ACTION=test2.php METHOD=post> <input TYPE=text NAME=test1> <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=test3><br> <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=hallaballuzza> <input TYPE=text NAME=wrksdrifk> <INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=submit VALUE=submit> </form> </body> </html> (sorry a bit small...) and your "while (list(..." as test2.php in the same directory works. Why do you supply the path to the action with <?php ..?> ?? For your first question I don't know.
