ironmaiden666 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I've got this script: <html> <head> <title>Hi User</title> </head> <body> <h1>Hi User</h1> <?php if (empty($userName)){ print <<<HERE <form> Please enter your name: <input type = "text" name = "userName"><br> <input type = "submit"> </form> HERE; } else { print "<h3>Hi there, $userName!</h3>"; } //end ?> </body> </html> I've got apache 2.2.4 and php 5.2.3 I type in my name but nothing happens and my name disappears... usually I have to write $_POST[something] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybwoy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 For a start you need to have <form action='yourscript.php' method='post'> that deals with recieving the data. Then you need to assign the data to the $var like $username = $_POST['username']; in your script and make it global so your html can find it by putting global $username at the top of yourscript.php Please go and read w3c schools on html forms and php so you will understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
