Try using braces around $_POST or any superglobal you use:
print_r($_POST);
print brbr{$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']};
print brbr{$_POST['username']};
Works for me.

How are you setting $_POST['username']? Let's see the code for the
form.
Members in $_POST array are set (mostly) by submitting a form with POST
method, make sure your form is not submitting by GET.
The first echo statement from the OP shows that the request method is
*not* GET.

Re: [PHP] Why won't my echo won't work? [newbie question]
John, Thanks for the reply. It is done in software called ToolBook, runs in windows. The toolbook translates to dhtml and then is executed froma browser. The command in toolbook for the data is: Set HTTP POST parameter username to ahttptest I don't expect anyone to know ToolBook, but everything else seems to work as far as getting a post array from the HTTP communications but I'm struggling to render the data from it. I guess I was hoping someone would see something wrong with the way I coded the echo statement.

Dennis Try this on the page receiving the post data... echo ( pre ); print_r ( $_POST ); echo ( /pre ); And you'll see exactly what it's sending thru. Maybe it's sending a numerical array instead of an associative array. -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Why won't my echo won't work? [newbie question]
John, Thanks for your help. I got it all to work. In my toolbook set parameter stmt I needed to put quotes around username - username. No where is this documented in ToolBook. Thnaks for your help!
