Simple problem! Printing $_POST["damn"] doesn't work!

Bijan

it's so simple that I can't believe that it doesn't work! Look at this code:

<?PHP
if ( isSet($_POST["damn"]) )
	print $_POST["damn"];
?>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<form>
<input type="text" name="damn"><br />
<input type="submit">
</form>

</BODY>
</HTML>

When I write in the text input and submit the form, what is entered is not shown in the page, but rather in the location bar of my explorer as a query string! For example if I enter "hello" and then press the submit button, I get this in the location bar:
index.php?damn=hello

Note: index.php is the name of the page.

if it is passed via url, then it is passed via GET method, thus you shoud use $_GET["variable"].

When making a form, the method always defaults to GET, instead of POST... so if you want to make it actually post... just put..

Works.

Thanks! It's the first time that I forget this and it's not that bad! At least I understood what that $_GET thing is standing for! So, if I don't define a method for my form, it'll be "GET" by default and it shows itself in the query string, cool!
