RE: [PHP-DB] forms and method POST - variables

Well, it depends if you use an old version of PHP, in the latest version
both arrays $_POST and $_GET are used to get passed variables!!
I can't remember since what version PHP started to use these arrays!!

Subject: [PHP-DB] forms and method POST - variables


Hi,

I have one question about forms and php (which I use for Mysql too).

Do I need for variables from any form in html and method POST (then in php
script) to set these variables with:

$variable=$_POST['variable'];



For example:

html

head

title FORM/title

/head

body

form action=do_something.php method=POST

 Input something

br

input type=text name=variable

input type=submit value=submit

/FORM

/body

/html



And then.in do_something.php



html

head

titleDO SOMETHING/title

/head

body

?php

$variable=$_POST['variable'];

echo brbVariable: /b.$variable;

?

/body

/html



Because I got some old scripts where I don´t have this setting.they worked
on MS Win2000 - PWS and PHP 4.0 but now - with Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2 on WIN
XP it doesn´t work.



Thank you for any advice.



Lukas

That's a question that should be asked on the PHP-General list,
actually.  I'm forwarding the response to that list with this message.

Are you receiving any errors?  Are any messages displayed when you
have the following at the beginning of the script?
?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?

$_GET and $_POST are predefined superglobal variables, which have
been available in PHP since dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
