<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<body>
<!-- Script 2.1 - form.html -->

<form action="handle_form.php" method="post">

<fieldset><legend>Enter your information in the form below:</legend>

<p><b>Name:</b><input type="text" name="name" size="20" maxlength="40"/></p>

Since you are not new to this forum, you know that code should be posted within the appropriate php, html or code tags. See the Posting Guidelines or, when you are replying in the msg editor, the REPLY GUIDELINES at the right side of the screen.

You cannot expect members to wade throught a lot of unstructured code lines.

re: [SOLVED] Retrieve value from one phpfile to another.


In handle_post.php write the following code

$name=$_POST['name'];
$emal=$_POST['email'];
$gender=$_POST['gender'];
$age=$_POST['age'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];

echo $name;

and now you can test whether the values are being posted or not
