getting a basic form to work

cmrick23

I am trying to get a form to call a php page that will process the results. However, I cannot even get it to print out the URL Field value. Here is the code:

Form Page:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="formresults.php" Method="POST">
Issue:<br>
<input type="Text" name="issue" size="100" maxlength="300">
<br>
<input type="submit" value=" Preview Notification ">
<input type="RESET" value="Clear Form">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Form Results Page:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
Issue: <?php
$issue
?>
</body>
</html>

It doesn't print out the value. Please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Craig

put this in the formresult.php page, it should work

<?
if($_POST):
?>
	<html> 
	<head> 
	<title>Untitled</title> 
	</head> 
	<body> 
	Issue: <?=$_POST['issue'];?> 
	</body> 
	</html> 
<?
else:
	echo "No post variables found!";
	// error in your post code?
endif;
?>

Change this part ...

Issue: <?php
$issue
?>

to this ...

Issue: <?php
echo $issue;
?>

or this, if you have short tags enabled ...

Issue: <?=$issue; ?>
