RE: [PHP-DB] Simple PHP Script

[Ryan Jameson (USA)]

It's the good ole' register_globals feature...

You'll need to either turn register_globals on in your php.ini file or access the 
variables from their respective arrays ($_SERVER,$_GET,$_POST)... since your form 
method is post it will be: $_POST['vname'].

Make sense?

If you put this at the top of your page it will extract these all for you:

if (!empty($_SERVER))
  extract($_SERVER);
  
if (!empty($_GET)) {
extract($_GET);
} else if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
}

if (!empty($_POST)) {
extract($_POST);
} else if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}

Subject: [PHP-DB] Simple PHP Script


Hi,

I am new to PHP and had just written a simple php script to get things
started.  I have the following code:


html
body
?php
if($submit1) {
echo hello $vname;
} else {
?
form action=thispage.php method=post
table
trtdInput yourname/tdtdinput type=text name=vname/td/tr
trtd colspan=2input type=submit name=submit1/td/tr
/table
/form
?php
}
?
/body
/html

So this page is suppose to display a input box and a submit button and once
you enter ur name and press the button, it should show Hello [ur name] and
the input box at the bottom of it and the button below and the process
continue.

I tried running it and inputted some text and pressed the button, and the
Hello [ur name] didn't show up, it just display an input box and the submit
button.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks a lot

Kelvin

RE: [PHP-DB] Simple PHP Script

[Hutchins, Richard]

Try referring to your variables as: 

$_POST['submit1'] and
$_POST['vname']

Then check our register_globals on php.net to find out why.

I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is.
