Problem passing variables with forms (w/ code example)

[yahoka]

I am stumped. I can't pass variables through forms. $variable has no value using this code (that is after i put something in and press submit.)

<?php
	print $variable;

?>

<FORM ACTION="<?php print $PHP_SELF; ?>" METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="variable">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>

What version of PHP are you using? Latest versions have the PHP system settting of register_globals switched off which means you need to use:

echo $_POST["variable"];

Have a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php

Good Luck.

You don't need:

ACTION="<?php print $PHP_SELF; ?>"

If the form has no action, then it submits the form to the current file, which means you don't need that.
