Sending Variables with a link??

[tymoe]

Hi @ everyone,
i have a little problem because i am a total NOOOOObie @ php.
What i want to do is sending information with a link as a variable.

i want to control this things with the link:
Font Face
Font Color
Font Size
Backgroung color
Table Width

well, someone gave me this:

<?php
if(!empty($fontkind))
{
	print "<font face='".$fontkind."'>";
}
?>
lets change the font
<form action="bla.htm" method=post>
<input type=text name="fontkind">
<input type=submit>
</form>

and showed me that it works, now i tested it on my webserver but i got an error saying
Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /test/bla.htm

well, i have a site called bla.htm and blubber.htm which calles the file bla.htmwith the variables:

myserver.com/test/bla.htm?fontkind=Arial

so, can someone tell me how i can realize what i want to do??

Instead of requested method POST take GET

<?php
if(!empty($fontkind)) {
	print "<font face='".$fontkind."'>";
}
?>
lets change the font:
<form method=get>
	<input type=text name="fontkind">
	<input type=submit>
</form>

well, thanks for trying but this is not the solution to my problem, the link apears yes, that is right, but the script does not change the font from times to what i enter, this is the broblem.

I tested it and it works, but it is possible that on your system register_globals is set to OFF therefore try:

<?php
if(!empty($_GET['fontkind'])) {
    print "<font face='".$_GET['fontkind']."'>";
}
?>
lets change the font:
<form method=get>
    <input type=text name="fontkind">
    <input type=submit>
</form>
