Folks,

I am very new to PHP, and have been working through some tutorials.  I have
been able to post data from mySQL, but when I tried to do a form page to
enter data into the database I get the following error:

PHP Warning: Undefined variable: submit in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testform.php
on line 4 PHP Warning: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testform.php on line 14 

Here is the code:

<html> 

<body> 

<?php 

if ($submit) { 

// process form 

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root"); 

mysql_select_db("mydb",$db); 

$sql = "INSERT INTO employees (first,last,address,position) VALUES
('$first','$last','$address','$position')"; 

$result = mysql_query($sql); 

echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n"; 

} else{ 

// display form 

?> 

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>"> 

First name:<input type="Text" name="first"><br> 

Last name:<input type="Text" name="last"><br> 

Address:<input type="Text" name="address"><br> 

Position:<input type="Text" name="position"><br> 

<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information"> 

</form> 

<?php 

} // end if ?> 

</body> 

</html> 

Does anyone have any ideas, or where I need to look more to learn what the
problem is here?  TIA

Dan
