passing form data

danhe

the following is my HTML code for a form

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<form name="myform" action="action.php" method="post">
enter you name: <br>
<input type="text" name="name"><br>
enter your email: <br>
<input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input name="submit" type = "Submit" id="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>

</html>

And this is my action.php code

<?php

echo $name;
echo $email;
?>

PHP files do work on my webserver.
I do not know why PHP does not pass my form data.

I really appreciate your help! Thank You

The reason is because register_globals="OFF" on your webserver. Please go the newbie forum and read the stick entitled "Newbie Forum FAQ and bookmarked threads."

while($temp=key($_POST)){

                         $temp2=str_replace('"',"^^",$$temp);
                         $temp2=stripslashes($temp2);
                         $_POST[$temp]=$temp2;
                         $$temp=$temp2;
                         next($_POST);
                         }

$_POST is the var that you need to refer to to get the variables

so $name=$_POST[name];
