I just started reading a PHP book today, so bare with me.
I am really baffled on why my HTML form is not working.
The form can be found here

I am struggling with the same thing. once you figure it out let me know .. haha

The post data seems to be correct, firstname=a&lastname=a&email=a&SUBMIT=Submit%21


Are you taking the data in like this:


$firstname = $_POST["firstname"];

?

HandleForm.php:

PHP Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['SUBMIT'])){
   echo "Welcome ".$_POST['firstname']." ".$_POST['firstname'];
   echo "<br>";
   echo "Your email address is ".$_POST['email'];
}else{
  echo "Please fill your name and email. Go Back...";
}

?>

PHP Code:

if(isset( $Submit ) 


No Harlequin, just:

PHP Code:

if($_POST){ 


will work fine.

i tried the orignal code on my local server and is working correctly without any errors

Will not work if register_globals off in php.ini
It is a good practice to use $_POST['VARIABLE_NAME']!

Foundationflash

$_POST will work fine. But if you have two forms, then the condition will be valid for either of the form submitted.

Yes it would, and I was aware of that. I was going to also point out that Harlequin's required register_globals but I thought I might be wrong about that.
