Transferring variables from form to php
I'm trying to pass data from an HTML form to PHP. Later, I'll write the
data to a database. Please look at this simple html form, php code, and the output and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance: <!-- Sample.html --> <html> <body> <form action="simple.php" method="POST" > Name: <input type="text" name="wName" size="20"><br> Email: <input type="text" name="wEmail" size="20"><br> <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"> </form> </body> </html> <!-- simple.php --> <HTML> <body> <?php if (!$wName || !$wEmail ) { echo "You have not entered all the required details.<br>" ."Please go back and enter data in all fields.<br>"; echo ".$wName., .$wEmail."; exit; } ?> </body> </HTML> <!-- here is the output from the above code --> You have not entered all the required details. Please go back and enter data in all fields. ..., ..

I suppose you entered a Name and Email in sample.html, send it off, and then got the error... The problem is probably that your server has "register_globals" set to "Off", which all new PHP distributions have. That means the $wName and $wEmail variables are not available for the simple.php script. You will have to use the $_POST variables to get them. To fix this problem, just replace $wName and $wEmail with $_POST['wName'] and $_POST['wEmail']. DrTebi

Re: Transferring variables from form to php
There is a small mistake in your code
The line echo ".$wName., .$wEmail."; should be echo $wName.", ".$wEmail"; See if that helps...
