Newbie - Question - Chapter Three is Killing Me!
fcleffer replied to fcleffer's topic in PHP Coding Help
The Get helps ... Learning from a very OLD BOOK doesn't work!! Thanks -
??? I am working through a book Professional PHP Programming - 1999 Wrox Press. I know it's OLD! On pg 68 I created a Variable - easy - Hard coded $username="Eric"; <? ECHO ($username); ?> Works .. Cool! next it says you can create same variable by inputing HTML FORM <HTML><FORM> Type Your Name<BR><INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=username> ... blah blah submit. Then! <? echo ($username); ?> -- TEXT shows in URL but doesn't echo anything. (HTML) NAME=username creates (PHP) variable $username I have tried Firefox and IE because I thought my browser might be blocking the variable. ??Has the syntax changed from the php v.3 to the v.5?? Do I need to reconfigure Apache? Am I a bonehead?
