hi

i've just started learning PHP.

i have downloaded phptriad 4.1 so that i can use php without uploading it to server.

For my feedback html file, i put:
<html>
<head>
<title>TAEKWONDO WEBSITE - Membership Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<font face="arial" size="4">
<p align="center"><big>Membership Form</big></p>
Please Fill In Your Details And Click Submit:
<br />
<fieldset><legend align="center">Personal Information</legend>

First Name:<input type="text" name="name" size="10"/>
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>

FOR MY PHP FILE I PUT:
<html>

<head>

<title>TAEKWONDO WEBSITE - Membership Form</title>

</head>

SAVED PHP AS membership_form2.php & put all in same directory.

When i test it by filling in form & submit, Nothing appears its just a blank page?????????

any ideas?

maybe try this instead:
echo $_GET;

instead of

<html>

<head>

<title>TAEKWONDO WEBSITE - Membership Form</title>

</head>

<body>
<?php
ini_set ('display_errors',1);
//globals are usually on by default
echo $_GET['name'];
?>
</body>
</html>

depending on what version of php you are usign you may just be able to use $_GET instead of $HTTP_GET_VARS
i sure hope that works!

Crippz:

Obtaining POST and GET vars in PHP is pretty easy.

Try replacing:

ini_set ('display_errors',1);
register_globals
print "{$HTTP_GET_VARS}";

with

print($GLOBALS);

If that does work, just for kicks, try this as well:

print($name);

Good luck!

You need a submit button on your form..

something like <input type=submit value="Send it">
