heres the problem, when i run the HTML on the first page and fill out the form, i press send the info, it should bring up another page saying You entered so and so information. but instead i get you entered so and so info but it doesnt list the info, adding to that, im very noob to PHP, this is another tutorial that i found, and im begining to think that alot of tutorials have errors in them or somthing. i even went into my mysql and added the database and lines of info needed (again using his tutorial on how to) any help would be greatly appreciated.
ok, so i was able to fix the form, and ill post how i did it too. :)
$name = "$_POST[name]";
$email = "$_POST[email]";
$opinion = "$_POST[opinion]";
needed to be defined at the top of the page. now when i view my databases via phpmyadmin, i can see that the information has been added to the database, but now i need to write a script that will print out all data in the database to onscreen.
