[Resolved] Not reading form variables

[runsmart]

I am trying to send variables from a form to a php script. The script runs but does not include the variables. I know they are being sent because I used GET to monitor it. I used Sokkit to set up Apache, PHP, and MySQL on a Win2K machine. Did a variable not get set properly in the httpd file?

are you saying you can see the values in the URL, but can't grab them to use in your script? Are you accessing them as globals?

$var_name

should be

$_GET['var_name']

You didn't provide any code, so my only guess from your description is you have globals set to off (as they should be) and are trying to access the variable as if they were on.

You could put this code at the top of your form processing page. This will create the variables as if register_globals was set to on.

while( list( $name , $value ) = each( $_POST ) )
{
     ${ "$name" } = "$value";
}

Or even easier, use [man]extract()[/man]:

extract($_POST);

Cool! Didn't know about that function. Thanks!

Thank you so much. It works fine, now.
