I have installed php on windows XP through php installer for iis. and there is really a simple but irritating error that am getting.....what am doing is only getting value from one form to another... the code goes like that

==============================================
//file 1.php
<form name = "form1" action = "2.php" method = "post">
username : <input type = "text" name="username" value = "">
<br>
<input type = "submit" value = "submit">

</form>

==============================================
//file 2.php
<?php
echo ($username);

?>

the problem is that i get the error "underfined variable username"
what should i do.....

Please Advice......

you have installed php with the safer option 'register globals=off' .

with this option, $username is only available as $_POST['username'] .

to never receive the notice, even if the form is not submitted, try:

if(!isset($_POST['username'])) $_POST['username'] = "";

<?
$username = $_POST['username'];
echo "$username";
?>
