hello experts,
Plz dont treat this as another newbie query , i did my homework but
still getting nowhere :( :( :(
Trying to learn PHP on Fedora core 1 (PHP 4.3,MySQL,HTTPD).Unable to
post data from html form to php file(connecting to mysql database and
inserting into a table) .
This seemingly simple problem is making me go mad !!! I googled
extensively and already tried the following
I enabled " register_globals = On " .... in /etc/php.ini and
also took used _$POST syntax.
wot could be the problem .... is it the case that /etc/php.ini file is
not being read .... how do i know whether this is the default location
for php.ini?
Where can i find the PHPRC environment variable (the variable
responsible for the php.ini default location)
Is the problem something else .....?
Plz help me out experts!!!!
Thx Adv
Regards,
Sammista.
