Try the PHP documentation, see if it helps. If not, come back with a tiny
bit more detail. The fact that `lastname' and `submit' are both being
passed to the next page is correct, you're not seeing things. $submit is
just another variable in the world of PHP.

Subject: [PHP-DB] what the heck? update
I changed method to GET and the value of $lastname seems to be getting
passed but so is $submit, with the value Search for Last Name as you might
expect. Probably this ain't the answer

this bit from my index page is giving me 2 headaches:
1. it isn't passing anything into the URL
2. the page that gets called (name.php) sits and tries to load
forever. it looks like it's even filling up my hard drive with data
(?!)
Note: it does this (#2) even if I type in the URL with a variable and
value, like name.php?lastname=smith
?
printf (form method=\post\ action=\name.php?lastname=%s\,
$lastname);
?
div align=center
input type=Text name=lastname size=75
input type=Submit name=submit value=Search for Last Name
/div
/form
