Passing values

How come this code will not pass the value that I want it to

index

<form method=post action="search.php">
Search: <input type="text" name="userfile" size=15>
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form></body>

search.php

<head>
<title>Search Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> Results </p>
<?
echo "help";
//it will not print $userfile on my page
echo $userfile;

?>
</body>

Must be your php configuration or something. Here's what I used and the result:

index.html

<title> PHP test </title>
<body>
<form method=post action="search.php">
Search: <input type="text" name="userfile" size=15>
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
</body>

search.php

<head>
<title>Search Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> Results </p>
<?
echo "help";
//it will not print $userfile on my page
echo $userfile;
?>
</body>

Results (I typed in 'test'):
