Create a php script containing just ?php phpinfo(); ?. That page will tell you where your php.ini is (or should be). it told me it's in php/lib, but it's not there. Try this... $query = INSERT INTO friends (id, firstname, surname) values (nextval('friends_id_seq'), .$_POST['firstname']., .$_POST['surname'].); When I input Wei for firstname and Wang for surname in the form and submit, I got error: Warning: pg_exec() query failed: ERROR: Attribute 'andras' not found in /local/scratch-1/ww220/Apache1.3/htdocs/test/add2.php on line 6 ERRORERROR: Attribute 'andras' not found ps. Philip, Great thanks for your detailed help. I still couldn't figure out how to access $firstname. And I couldn't find php.ini, which should be the most straightforward way to solve this. -- Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] value passing from html form to php variable.
Is there anything I should do to make the php.ini come into effect? I did put the register_global = On but still got empty values. And my $_POST version is like this: ?php $db = pg_connect(dbname=friends); $query = INSERT INTO friends (id, firstname, surname) values (nextval('friends_id_seq'), $_POST['firstname'], $_POST['surname']); $result = pg_exec($db, $query); if (!$result) { printf (ERROR); $errormessage = pg_errormessage($db); echo $errormessage; exit; } printf (These values were inserted into the database - %s %s, $firstname, $surname); pg_close(); ? /body /html On Sat, 1 Jun 2002 17:08:11 +0100 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Stuart Dallas) wrote: On Saturday, June 1, 2002 at 5:00:18 PM, you wrote: Do you mind telling me where this php.ini is?
