karl09 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hi Guys Im new to php and i am currently working my way through a book i found called, "php and mysql web development". It seems a good book, however the code for the first exercise is not working for me. The book comes with the code snippets on a disc but even these do not run when i try. Could someone pls take a look as i have no idea, i have tried to find the answer over the last 2days. Thankyou in advance for any help.orderform.htmlprocessorder.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch0cu3r Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) I have a feeling this book is out of date. echo $tireqty." tires<br>"; echo $oilqty." bottles of oil<br>"; echo $sparkqy." spark plugs<br>"; The above is the old way of getting data from a form that has been submitted. This will only work if a setting called register_global is enabled. This setting has been removed as of php5.4. You should find a book that is using this version at least, a book published in 2012 should be more up to date. The correct code would be to use the $_POST super global instead echo $_POST['tireqty']." tires<br>"; echo $_POST['oilqty']." bottles of oil<br>"; echo $_POST['sparkqty']." spark plugs<br>"; Edited September 28, 2013 by Ch0cu3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
