[SLUG] php help passing variables

[Amanda Wynne]

(Linux relevance; This will all run on a Linux box, as soon as I can get some hardware.)   I can't seem to get php to pass variables from an input page to an output page.   ---test-in.htm--- <form action=""test-out.php" method="get">(or "post", tried them both) <input type="text" name="name"> <input type="submit"> </form>   ---test-out.php--- <?php echo ($name); ?> comment. $name is destined for a MySQL select query. echo ($name) is just for testing. output.php gets called with this URL (leading http://server...etc stripped for clarity) test-out.php?name=test the variable $name is empty. php 4.2.2 running as part of FoxServ 3.0 on a Windows machine. I'm sure it must be obvious, but I've spent 2 days on this with a number of tutorials & how-to's, and I really can't see why something that is so simple just won't work for me.   Amanda
