Finally figured out what the question was!
Here's a better version of your code Ethan:
$phn = $_POST['phone']; // note the quotes on the index
if (strlen($phn) 10)
{
echo Error in phone number entry - must be 10 digits;
exit();
}
$phn = mysqli_real_escape_string($cxn,$phn);
$masked_phone = substr($phn,0,3) . -.substr($phn,3,3). -.
substr($phn,6,4);
$sql1 = select Lname, Fname from Customers where Phone =
'$masked_phone'; // note use of diff quotes
$result1 = mysqli_query($cxn, $sql1);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result1) == 0)
{
echo Phone number $masked_phone not on file;
exit();
}
else
{
echo Found {$result1['Fname']} {$result1['Lname']} is on file with
number $masked_phone;
exit();
}

Well, Could be some sort of debugging mode on the PHP running on the server. On the other hand your script is depending on the fact that GLOBALS are turned on, which - you shouldnt. 1) Anywho - you form is using POST, so you should use this syntax : $_POST[variable], if using GET the equivilant is : $_GET[variable] 2) You should try to avoid putting variables inside quotes, unless you have a good reason for is. Meaning Hello $variable; should be written as : Hello . $variable; So the answer to your question would be, on the second page, and I also prefer echo instead of print. echo Hello . $_POST[name] . !; or echo 'Hello ' . $_POST[name] .

The real reason I'm asking is because I want to design a PHP app that uses a similar framework to a current Java/JSP app I'm developing, and I will need to use a controller php file that forwards the request and response objects it receives to another php. Java Servlets do this nicely because instead of parsing through all of the arguments in the request object, and then going to the next servlet, it just punches the whole request object to the next servlet. Like I said, the only reason I would need them is to align with my current framework. But I will probably just design a different framework for my PHP apps.

[PHP-DB] re: newbie question: request response
No (not out of the box anyway) BUT the beauty of PHP is its much simpler than JSP or ASP's server.response() server.request() methods (sorry if thats not the exact syntax - I haven't done huge amounts of ASP/JSP work lately), in most cases you simply output the data (i.e. print / echo something;) for the response (maybe in conjuction with an optional http header - the default is text/html but you could send pretty much any MIME type - jpegs, pdfs etc). This means knocking up simple scripts is much easier quicker... The request object is taken care in most cases by just being there as a php variable with the same name as html / http element - i.e. if your html form has an element called bob then when this form is (via http post / get) sent back to a PHP script the variable is available as $bob. How simple! Sometimes you might want to use HTTP_GET_VARS['bob'] but I haven't encountered a time where thats necessary apart from when retrieving server info - auth_user, server_name etc (perhaps someone else could explain other situations when that is required?) Of course you could create request and response classes in PHP if you wanted to but that would remove the simplicity, beauty and speed of the langauge (IMHO). After all when I look at a JSP script I just think what a waste of code - server.response(thismethod(anothermethod(x))) just to output something!! Don't get me wrong I am not bad mouthing Java (in fact I use it too - just not for web programming) its features are there for security (ideal for e-banking), object orientated reasons and J2EE stuff, but with PHP you can really just get to the core of 90% of what web scripts need to do - you just need to return some data in HTML / XML back to the browser as efficiently and quickly as possible. I am bad mouthing ASP though! I think its over-complicated for no good reasons when compared to PHP! In addition you have a severe lack of libary functions (image manipulation, database access (other than the terribly slow ODBC option or the ADO option) XML etc). I presume VB.NET and C# will try to make up for these things by offering the windows forms interfaces and other new stuff. In my view echo something; (interpreted by PHP machine code cgi / isapi module) would appear on the face of things to be a lot quicker than: servlet.response(something); (in java byte code (hmm slow!) interpreted by jsp/servlet/library engine then into machine code) or server.response(something); (code interpreted by class / library in asp.dll or suchlike then into asp engine / windows service then machine code) obviously the string something would be something dynamic like a database result or such like but you get the idea. But I could be wrong! What really impresses me about PHP is that it offer a version of their scripting engine that will run on any almost any platform. This is machine code complied and so in theory outperforms the cross platform Java (byte-code), and maybe asp (visual basic - interpreted) which is also know to be a bit sluggish compared with PHP, but of course only really runs on Win32 (i know there's chillisoft - asp for unix) - but thats not exactly a realistic option. As you can see I have bathered on a bit (opps I have just realised this was a newbie question!), the reason being that I had to make this comparision for a company a while back - they said whats the best web/ intranet servers side technology - I said (after careful consideration of various factors, including such things as how easily existing staff could pick up the technlogy, and value for money) PHP running on Win32/IIS (offers the best solution - in my particular client's case - using a Windows Domain / MS-SQL Databases). What does everyone else think - or I am completely barking up the wrong tree? I expect a lot of Linux rocks use Linux and MYSQL/Postgres responses, but for those coming from a ASP background with IT managers wanting to use MS products whereever possible using PHP on Win32 makes sense.

[PHP-DB] Re: Newbie Question
have a look at get_html_translation_table() in the php manual. there is an example of conversion of all special chars so they can be inserted into the database as text (i.e. £pound) and a cool way of 'decoding' them if you need to write them to a file. A Browser wil interpret them correctly when they are displayed. This must be the question of the day as i have posted this answer three times today :-) Let me know if you need any more help Steve get_html_translation_table manual page is below: PHP Manual Prev Next get_html_translation_table (PHP 4 = 4.0b4) get_html_translation_table -- Returns the translation table used by htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() Description string get_html_translation_table (int table [, int quote_style]) get_html_translation_table() will return the translation table that is used internally for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities(). There are two new defines (HTML_ENTITIES, HTML_SPECIALCHARS) that allow you to specify the table you want. And as in the htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() functions you can optionally specify the quote_style you are working with. The default is ENT_COMPAT mode. See the description of these modes in htmlspecialchars(). Example 1. Translation Table Example $trans = get_html_translation_table (HTML_ENTITIES); $str = Hallo Frau Krämer; $encoded = strtr ($str, $trans); The $encoded variable will now contain: Hallo amp; lt;Fraugt; amp; Krauml;mer. The cool thing is using array_flip() to change the direction of the translation. $trans = array_flip ($trans); $original = strtr ($str, $trans); The content of $original would be: Hallo Frau Krämer.

I wrote this cleanup function:
function cleanup($copy)
{
$copy=trim($copy);
$copy=htmlspecialchars($copy, ENT_QUOTES);
$copy=eregi_replace (%, #37;, $copy);
$copy=eregi_replace (, lt;, $copy);
$copy=eregi_replace (, gt;, $copy);
$copy=eregi_replace (amp;, , $copy);
$copy=nl2br($copy);
$copy=StripSlashes($copy);
return($copy);
}
nl2br converts the carriage returns into br or br / depending on your
version of php.
So if you want to offer your copy for editing instead of viewing, you might
want to run
$string=str_replace(br /, , $string);
The rest of the code removes characters that can be used for malicious coding.
You might want to edit it if you want them to enter html code.
