Undefined variable question

domhal

I have recently installed Apache, PHP and MySQL on XP Home and was trying some stuff out. I created these two pages (index.html and colour.php) but when they are run (using htp://localhost/index.html), I get:

Notice: Undefined variable: colour in C:\web\colour.php on line 4

index.html

<HTML>
<BODY>
<H1>Hello, World!</H1>
<FORM method="POST" action="colour.php">
<INPUT type="text" name="colour">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Change" name="change">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

colour.php

Can anyone help?

try:

echo $_GET['colour'];

Read this:

http://www.php.net/variables.external

Pay special attention where it mentions register_globals and what it means.

It should be like this:


echo $_POST['colour'];
