I have just recently installed Apache 1.3.24 and PHP 4.2.0 on a Debian
2.2 system. I had an identical installation beforehand, and it worked
fine.

I wish to use HTML forms to submit data for entry into a MySQL
database. PHP won't inherit the values from forms, and displays them as
NULL or of blank value.

For instance, I created two files named test.htm and test.php. Test.htm
looked like this:

<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>

<body>
<form method="get" action="test.php">
<input type="text" value="" name="textfield">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>

</html>

And test.php looked like this:

<? echo "The value of textfield is: " . $textfield ?>

I would expect that since test.php is the action of the form, then
$textfield would echo the value that the user entered in the text box.
Instead, I get the following output:

The value of textfield is: 

I'm not sure if this is a problem with PHP or Apache. Any help that can
be offered would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
