text box

[miztas]

Hi,

Im trying to read someones name into a variable called $name using a text box:

<p>Name: <input TYPE=text NAME=name VALUE=" ">

but when a name is entered and the form is submitted there is no data for that value, any ideas?

Thanks

you tried to access $name right?

if you use method="post" in your form tag you $POST['name'] instead; if you're using method="get" or nothing (which equals method="get" in fact) use $GET['name']
