[EdoDodo]

Hi.

 

I know how to make forms and how to take them and echo them and stuff but when I try to set the to variables it doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help me please?

Page 1:

<form method="post" action="http://localhost/page2.php">
Minimum Number: <input type="text" size="10" maxlength="40" name="min_num"><br>
Maximum Number: <input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="max_num"><br>
Number of Guesses: <input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="guesses"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Go!">
</form>

 

Page 2:

<?php
$min_num='$_POST['min_num']';
$max_num='$_POST['max_num']';
$guesses='$_POST['guesses']';

echo '$min_num, $max_num, $guesses';
?>

 

 

I'm pretty sure it's just a silly mistaker but I'm new to PHP and stuff so I can't spot it.

You dont need the single quotes. With the single quotes you are puting the $_POST variables in as  strings.

 

$min_num=$_POST['min_num'];
$max_num=$_POST['max_num'];
$guesses=$_POST['guesses'];

I tried that and it doesn't give me the T-String error thing but it doesn't echo the variables just returns like:

$min_num, $max_num, $guesses

[mmarif4u]

bcoz u r escaping it.

try this:

echo $min_num.$max_num.$guesses;

[trq]

<?php

<?php

$min_num=$_POST['min_num'];
$max_num=$_POST['max_num'];
$guesses=$_POST['guesses'];

echo $min_num, $max_num, $guesses;
?>

[bluebyyou]

try this:

 

echo $min_num, $max_num, $guesses;

 

The single quote for a strings means echo litteraly what is inside, even if it is a variable name.

 

read up on it here: http://www.php.net/types.string

Yes probably ! there was a blunder to use such single quotations outiside the post function.

[bluebyyou]

you dont have to rub it in

[EdoDodo]
