[PHP] Re: Cannot get data from form.
This is really a FAQ, I would suggest that you read a bit more documentation before posting. Eric Le Van Thanh [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit dans le message de news: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I have installed PHP4.2.2 with Apache 1.3.26 on Solaris7. And now I have problems with getting data from form. I have 2 pages test.html and welcome.php as following: test.html--- - form userDetails method=post action=welcome.php Enter your Name: br input type=text value= name=name input type=submit value=Enter name=welcome /form --welcome.html- ?php print $name ; ? === Then I cannot get the value of input name. But if I write print $_POST['name']; or print $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];, it's ok. Is there something wrong when I install PHP?

That's the way it works in the newer PHP for security reasons. I had to rewrite all my code about a week ago because my client was using php 4.2 and I had 4.0. It has to do with the Globals are set to being turned off in the php.ini file. You should be able to change the php.ini file to globals on, but people will argue that it's a security problem and you should just change all your global varieables to the new way. It's your call. Hope this helps. Brian Le Van Thanh wrote: - I have installed PHP4.2.2 with Apache 1.3.26 on Solaris7. And now I have problems with getting data from form.

[PHP] Re: Cannot get data from form.
Turning off register globals and referencing variables through the new array
syntax certainly gives a greater degree of control over the origin of data;
ie: a variable referenced $_POST['foo'] has (most likely) been received as a
result of http post and it's reasonably safe to assume $_COOKIE['foo'] is a
value from a cookie etc. In this example with globals=on $foo could have
come from anywhere...
The only thing i've found a bit annoying is when a value can be passed
variously by a form (method=post) or as a query string value appended to a
link uri.
Writing...
if (isset($_GET['foo'])) {
$foo = $_GET['foo']
} elseif (isset($_POST['foo'])) {
$foo = $_POST['foo']
}
when I want to use $foo is a bit annoying, but i haven't figured out a more
elegant way of saying this yet.
