You don't say what version of PHP you're using. If you're using the latest (4.1.1) and are using the recommended php.ini settings then things like GET, POST etc. are not automatically initialised into the variables space. So you would have to use something like: Hi <?php echo "$_GET[YourName]"; ?> If you're not using php-4.1.1 then check php.ini and see whether register_globals = On hth -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* Gee, Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
