Hi,
I'm new to PHP and html but think I got to learn that stuff now, after some years Database-experience.
Iworking at my first form and can't see anything in the PHP-output, even no error-message !??? here are the 'giant' scripts:
1. html form:
<html>
<head>
<title>My first PHP-Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="form_ou tput.php" >
please fill your e-mail adress !
<input type="text" name="email">
<input type="submit" value="Go! ">
</form>
</body>
</html>
------------------------------------
2. form_output.php :
<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL);
if (empty($_POST['mail'])) {
echo "nothing here ";
} else {
echo "the mail: ".$_POST['mail'];
print_r($_POST) ;
var_dump($_POST );
}
echo "strlen($_P OST['mail'])";
?>
-----------------------------------------------------
when I open the html with firefox I see the form-element and can type in, no errors, everything looks fine !
When I enter the "go" button, html disapears and the PHP-file is opended by firefox, but totaly empty ! no error, no nothing ! only the URL is to see !???
it goes more weird, when I insert this line somewhere in the PHP-script:
echo "<br />\n";
instead of a blank line, I see while executing: \n";
and emmidiatly attached the next line of code !
What's wrong there ? If read dozends of tutorials, all telling the same, as I think, I did !?
thanks for any tip, LaoDe

The name of your input field in form1 is 'email'. However, you check and use the $_POST['mail']. Change all these to $_POST['email'].
[PHP]if (empty($_POST['email'])) {
echo "the mail: ".$_POST['email'];
echo strlen($_POST['email']);[/PHP]

Hi Roverdonk,
Thanks for the tip, even so it isn't the problem.
You are right, during all that testing, I missed that 'e' in the PHP-script, but now, after deleting the that 'e' from the html-script, the problem is still the same, just empty, white screen.
Could it be, that I need to run this 2 pages through an index.html or index.php via Apache, to make it work ?
you see, I'm pretty bloody unexperienced in putting the things together. I think I understand some basics of Webserver + html + PHP,+ mySQL but I miss a nice tutorial about how to put all together in the right way.
any links to that ? thanks a lot for your tip anyway and feel free to ask me anything about databases, you like.
cheers LaoDe

Hi,
Just to let you know: I am 1 step further:
When I run the form-html as index.html and therfore run it via Apache, the PHP-output is fine.
So I need to learn now to make Apache + html + PHP + mySQL working fine together.
Right now I wonder, why Apache comes up with it's dummy page (which is renamed to index.html.org) , when I call 'localhost' and runs my form-html only, if I call localhost/index.html (which contains the form now) expresivly.
All related scripts are in DocumentRoot "/xampp/htdocs"
while ServerRoot "/xampp/apache"
I reduced direcotry index to only:
DirectoryIndex index.html
that is default from XAMPP. I didn't change that and proofed it.
That Indian seems to be a medicine-man !?
cheers LaoDe

I am having problems in my php code. I am relatively new to php but I

This is the problem:

Hi,
I'm learning PHP and prepared a simple login form. validate.php does
the validation and it was behaving erratically. So, I did var_dump of
$_POST variable and it's NULL. Did I miss anything here regarding the
configuration or code? Code for validate.php is given below.

Hi,
How would I go about destroying POST vars after their use in a script?
Is this possible?
The reason is that when I use a script that, for example, add a row to
a database. If for some reason the user refreshes the page, it will add
another row. Is it the browser that resends the POST vars when a page
is refreshed?
