What kind of problems?  Errors?  Post the code to the other page as well.

the string doesnt work..

 

after i click the submit button, the url bar

displays this --> http://localhost/fyp/populate.php?url=http://

 

so the ".$url." doesnt work..

it supposed to go to the url where users keyed in..

e.g : http://localhost/fyp/populate.php?url=http://facebook.com

 

if the users keyed in facebook.com

Check if there's anything in $_POST['urlField']

[hailmunan]

it supposed to be what user keyed in

 

perhaps i messed up with the form structure?

[Mchl]

do

echo $_POST['urlField']

and see if anything comes up. If not, you're likely misspeled a field name.

Is the form getting submitted to itself?
