Form doen't work, I know, it's stupid but pleaze help

system

OK, I got a form...

I typed it even over from a manual, and it still doesn't work 🙁(

"
<form method="GET" action="form2.php" >
Extra info

</form>
"
form1.html or form1.php, I don't think it matters? both doens't work so...

form2.php

"
<?php
echo "res: " . $form_info . "<br>";
?>
"

in the bar :/php/image/scripts/form2.php?form_info=qqqqqqqqq
but what do I get

res:

and nothing further

I know it's stupid, but I can't seem to find the problem 😢

Pleaze help

I didn't look to close, but autoglobals might be turned off.

Try this on the process page:
<?php
echo("

if you can see this :" . $_GET['form_info'] . ": but not this :$form_info:, then autoglobals is off.

");
?>

and btw it would be register_globals he is talking about

and if you don't want to see the url crap, use method=post instead, then you can access your variable with

<?
echo $_POST['variablename'];
?>

doh! Yeah, he's right. It's register_globals. My bad.

Personally, I use post on every form, but get will get the job done too. The advantage with "get" is that it allows a page to be bookmarked, such as a search result.

post is more secure though.

Ok, it works, tried it with the get and post thingie

Apparently I have an older version of php, the manual I mean.

Thx a lot for the quick response, it's stupid but I didn't know it.

thx a lot again, and hopefully I can help you guy's out some day also 😉))
