[SOLVED] php form value question

[sonny]

Hi I am new to PHP but trying new things every day.

 

I am trying to pass a IP address over to display.php

this is my simple form page code below.

 

<form action="display.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="IP" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

 

 

And this is the code line inside my next page named display.php I need to insert

that ip address into, my line below causes errors can someone show me the correct

syntax to do this?

 

$location = GeoIP_record_by_addr($gi, '$_POST["IP"]');

 

I am trying to place a IP address entered in a form into that location= above

 

Thanks

What error do you get? What shows when you do echo $_POST["IP"] in display.php?

$location = GeoIP_record_by_addr($gi, $_POST["ipp"]);
