query_string

[ibo]

Hi! I've just recently started to learn PHP. I have a few questions indeed.

1- When i use get method to take information within the form it looks like succesfull. But i cant see the variables in the query_string. And even icant find query_string thing when i use isset function to check its presence.

2- Where can i find free php hosting, i mean a real free one?

i know these are so easy questions but as i said i am so new!

well i cant give you the exact code but i can give a part of it.
i have a form2.htm which has this code in it.

<FORM ACTION="form2_isle.php" METHOD="GET">
Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="name1">
<br>
Adress: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="adress1">
<br>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit"> <INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Reset">

</FORM>

and i have form2_isle.php like this;

<?php
print ("Dear <b>$name1</b>\n\n");
print ("<p>Your adress is: <b>$adress1 </b></p>\n\n");
?>

but it doesnt work because when i check the variables $name1 and $adress1 i cant see them and also i cant see query_string which has to contain them.

But i can see that the transfer was successfull when i use $HTTP_GET_VARS in a foreach statement. I know that when i use get method i have to see variables within query_string havent i, or do i have a problem with my server?

<?php
print ("Dear <b>$GET['name1']</b>\n\n");
print ("<p>Your adress is: <b>$_GET['adress1'] </b></p>\n\n");
?>
