why I can not get the form variable ?

[mshen]

I use the simple application

<?php if(isset($quality)){echo $quality;} ?>

<form name="the_form" method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="quality" size="8">

<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

but why I can not get the form varable "quality"? please let me know how to change php.ini to fix the problem.

Thanks

ps:I use apache1.3.27 and php4.23.

Turn register_globals on in your php.ini

[mohamed42]

In other words, add this line:

register_globals=on

and that should do it for ya.

[gyash]

Access your form variables through $POST if method is POST or $GET array if method is GET
like $_POST['quality']

gyash's solution is to be preferred - it's a bit more secure, allows the script to be processed a little bit faster, and register_globals support is likely to be going away in a future version of PHP.
