Collect data from form

[hkucsis]

Hi,

I am using Apache1.3.27 + PHP4.2.3 and I'm using to use PHP to collect data form a html form. But when I try to collect data using $field_name, I can't get the value, no matter which method(get/post) I used.

What's the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Create a file called test.php, in it put:

<FORM ACTION=test.php METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=myvar>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=comm VALUE=new>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=comm VALUE=old>
</FORM>

<?
if($HTTP_POST_VARS['comm'] || $HTTP_POST_VARS['myvar']){
echo "field: ".$HTTP_POST_VARS['myvar']."<BR>";
if(!$HTTP_POST_VARS['comm']){
echo "No button pressed"; 
} else {
echo "button: ".$HTTP_POST_VARS['comm'];
}
}
?>
