Re: [PHP] Problem about Reading input from a Form
OK, Im an idiot, glad I caught myself before someone else did. I didnt see the PHP print statments. :) Follow mikes advice on the register globals, and restarting the server. Or try using $HTTP_POST_VARS['user'] or $_POST['user']. -- Stewart On Mon, 25 Feb 2002, Stewart G. wrote: > Its not a register_globals issue.

Simple: instead of $user and $address, use: * in PHP 4.0: $HTTP_POST_VARS['user'] and $HTTP_POST_VARS['address'] * in PHP 4.1: $_POST['user'] and $_POST['address'] For more information, refer to http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php (which doesn't actually mention the $_* variables), and http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php (scroll waaay down until you reach the heading "PHP variables").

Re: [PHP] Problem about Reading input from a Form
Its not a register_globals issue. You must wrap $user and $address in php print statements rather than just in the html. Your name is . Your address is . That will work with either GET or POST. -- Stewart On Mon, 25 Feb 2002, Kostas Karadamoglou wrote: > I set the register_globals On in the php.ini file but when i do php.info it > shows that is off.About the better way, How i can manipulate this variables, > can you give me an exable. > Thank you > > > >From: "Ford, Mike [LSS]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: 'Kostas Karadamoglou' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: RE: [PHP] Problem about Reading input from a Form > >Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 14:30:09 - > > > > > -Original Message- > > > From: Kostas Karadamoglou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: 25 February 2002 14:09 > > > > > > I put and the POST method but I have the same problem > > > I don't know why, any ideas? > > > Thank you > > > > > > > > > > >-Original Message- > > > >From: Kostas Karadamoglou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > >Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 12:58 PM > > > > > > > >I can't take the variables $user and $address from the form > > > to the php > > > >file. > > > >Which version of PHP?

Which version of PHP? Is register_globals set to Off? If it is, you can either turn it On (if you have control of the server), or (better!) use the $HTTP_POST_VARS (4.0) or $_POST (4.1) array.

I think you have to access your variables with $_GET & $_POST. I'm not too sure as I haven't upgraded yet. m: -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
