Loosing Variables

[nikon0266]

I am pretty new to PHP. But I thought the language would keep your GET and POST variables for you. When I submit a form I have the GET variables in the URL.. But if I try ex.

<?php print("$FirstName"); ?>

I dont get anything.. What could the problem be.. This happens on several pages.

[zone16]

try $HTTP_POST_VARS[FirstName]

That worked but all the examples I have seen you only have to code the $variable... Why does mine not work that way?

[zone16]

I'm sure somebody has the full answer to that, but I have a feeling that it has to do with the php version..

you can also use $_POST[var]...

la'ers,

had the same problem as you. you might want to try sessions. i am sure there was a version change and this feature that was in the guides and books are now outdated.

good luck,
