MadTechie Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 OK well global register is off (thats good), so your need to tell the form and the php which method to use e.g. <HTML> <FORM method="post"> Please type your name here:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="username"><BR><BR> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit data"> </FORM> <BR><BR> You typed: <?php echo $_POST['username']; ?> </HTML> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68702-solved-php-formits-not-working/#findComment-345379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTechie Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 See here register_globals I'll stress that running PHP with register globals turned on, though convenient, opens unnecessary security risks. Example <HTML> <FORM> Please type your name here:<BR> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="username"><BR><BR> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit data"> </FORM> <BR><BR> You typed: <?php //$admin = false; //without this line theirs a security hole!!!!! echo $username; if($username == "ADMIN") { $admin = true; } //....................other code if($admin) { echo "<br />Welcome Admin"; } ?> </HTML> now if i used the name as ADMIN i am the administartor anything else an i am not.. BUT if i load the page like this TEST.php?admin=1 then $admin will be 1 (aka true) thus anyuser could be the admin, this can be corrected by setting $admin to false at the start of the script but still it could be missed!
