Hi,
Just installed PHP, and Apache. Am having problems with the PHP to
get form data from an HTML file. Specifically, I can not obtain the
variable "tireqty" in a PHP file called by an HTML file. The files'
contents are listed as follow:
-----------------------------
The following is the HTML file
-----------------------------
<form action="processorder.php" method=post>
<table border=0>
<tr bgcolor=#cccccc>
<td width=150>Item</td>
<td width=15>Quantity</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tires</td>
<td align=center><input type="text" name="tireqty" size=3
maxlength=3></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value="Submit
Order"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
-----------------------------
The following is the PHP file 'processorder.php'
-----------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>abcd</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
echo $tireqty." tires<br>";
?>
</body>
</html>
-----------------------------
I know PHP and Apache are working becasue I am able to to have an HTML
page to load a PHP page to do a for loop and use the "echo" function
to print the loop iterations. So I'm not sure why PHP can't access
the variable "tireqty". Is there some settings in the PHP engine that
I need to check for this?
Thanks
