[Resolved] Cannot get form variables

[SiMZ]

I cannot get the form variables on the destination page.

Consider following code:

<form action="file2.php" method="post" >
<input name="text1" type="text" >
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Go"> </form>

---

//file2.php

$var1 = $text1;

echo "$var1";

On file2.php this the first variable used. But it gives error of undefined variable.

Please help!

Try:

$var1 = $_POST["text1"];
echo "$var1";

You can also extract the entire POST array using:

//  Put this somewhere near the top after you send all of the headers.
extract($_POST);

Then you don't have to assign the variables. You can just echo them out or use them as needed...

In other words, you don't have to do this:

$var1 = $_POST["text1"]; 
echo $var1;

//  All you need to do is this:
echo $text1;
