I am trying to study php from a book. But the code doesn't seem to
work for me. I set up a form, as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="results.php" method="GET">
<p>Name: <input type="text" name="name">
<P>
<input type="submit" name="Submit">
<input type="Reset"></form>
</body>
</html>
Then I wrote some code for a processing file titled "results.php" as
instructed:
<head>
<title>form results</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
print("<p>Name : <b>$name</b>\n");
?>
</body>
</html>
But if I type "Jones" in the name field, it doesn't pass the name
value on to the form "results" page. It puts it up in the location bar
as
/php/results.php?name=jones&Submit=
But it doesn't appear on the Web page.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help. 7 1865

You just need to grab the value in the (automatically created) variable
$_GET
Like so
$name = $_GET["name"];
echo $name; // should say "hones"
You just need to grab the value in the (automatically created) variable $_GET
Like so
$name = $_GET["name"]; echo $name; // should say "hones"
Now that I think about it, maybe it should say "jones"
If it says "hones", please post a follow up. That would be something.
I noticed that Message-ID:
<5e**************************@posting.google.com > from Matthew Lasar
contained the following: I am trying to study php from a book.
$_GET a newer book.

PHP *used* to work that way.
The book's code probably worked correctly when it was written.

Calm down and take a $_COOKIE. Prior to 4.2.0 PHP worked as described in
the book. In 4.2.0 the default value for register_globals went to OFF.
