Forms and php

[__Max__]

The data from form variables is not passed to php variables.
Here is forit.php page
<?php
$fform= " <form action=\"forit.php\" method=\"post\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"seenform\" value=\"y\">
<b>Login please ...</b><br><br>
Username:
<input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" size=\"15\" maxlength=\"10\" ><br>
Password:
<input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" size=\"15\" maxlength=\"8\" ><br>
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Go\">
</form>";

if ($seenform !="y"): print "$fform";
else print "$password $username";
?>

Nothing is displayed after this script.

I tried your script and it gave me parse error.. I changed your If sentence and it worked..

<?php
$fform= " <form action=\"forit.php\" method=\"post\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"seenform\" value=\"y\">
<b>Login please ...</b><br><br>
Username:
<input type=\"text\" name=\"username\" size=\"15\" maxlength=\"10\" ><br>
Password:
<input type=\"password\" name=\"password\" size=\"15\" maxlength=\"8\" ><br>
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Go\">
</form>";

if ($seenform !="y")
{
 print "$fform";
 }
else 
{
print "$password $username"; 
}
?>

Check register_globals variable in your php.ini file - it should be set to on... If you can't modify your php.ini, use $_POST or $HTTP_POST_VARS (it depends on version of PHP, you use) array.
Also, it isn't good idea, to write such scripts as yours:

<?php
$fform = "a lot of html code";
if (display_form)
{
    echo $fform;
}
else
{
    do_something();
}
?>

The much better way to do this is:

<?php
if (display_form)
{
?>
a lot of html code
<?php
}
else
{
    do_something();
}
?>
