Simplest thing...doesn't work

[Cherphas]

Hello,

I just started using PHP and having trouble with this simplet code:

<?PHP
   If ($submit){
   echo 'It worked!!';
   }
?>

<form name="frmLogin" method="post" action="<?echo $PHP_SELF?>">

User Name:<br>
<input type="textbox" name="txtUsername" size="30"><br><br>
Password:<br>
<input type="textbox" name="txtPassword" size="30"><br><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"><br>

</form>

I know, it's simple, but it doesn't work!! I just want to write "It worked!!" if the user clicked submit. One more question... I use to work with ASP and I was wondering if PHP is somewhat similar to it. Is there some major difference?

thanks,
Joël

Remember variables are case sensitive.

form:

name="Submit"

php script:

$submit

Well I'll be... I should have posted earlier! Quick answering by the way(Not even 1 minute!). It's good to know, there will probably be more questions in the future 🙂

Thank you
Joël

 <?PHP
If ($_POST["Submit"] == "Login"){
echo 'It worked!!';
} else {
?>

<form name="frmLogin" method="post" action="<?echo $PHP_SELF?>">

User Name:<br>
<input type="textbox" name="txtUsername" size="30"><br><br>
Password:<br>
<input type="textbox" name="txtPassword" size="30"><br><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"><br>

</form> 

<?
}
?>

try that

I tried using $_POST in my page, but it didn't work. Something to do with the version I`m using, older than 4.3.0 I think.

try

$_REQUEST["value_here"]

also try this if that doesnt work

$HTTP_POST_VARS["value_here"]
