FormVars with PHP

[smp]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could explain to me what exactly a formVar does and why I would be getting an error when using it...

this is the code i am using:

if(!isset($s_header_name)) 
{
@formVar('s_header_name');
}

{

but this is the error that i keep getting:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: formvar() in E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\allnorth_test\Admin\header.html on line 130

i am new to php and i am not really sure why this error would be showing up since i have seen the exact same code used in other places without this error!

thanks

well, use the $POST and $GET variables instead... if you've used the post method in the form, do like this:

if(isset($_POST['s_header_name']))
{
   echo $_POST['s_header_name'];
}

Call to undefined function: formvar()
This error means just that: the function is undefined. Most likely, there is an include that had this file defined, and you do not have it. Either that, or you've just cropped out a part without taking some other needed things.

If you wish to pass variables via a form, use the method displayed above. You can also call it by name, as happened in your script, however.
