Capture data from a form

[gepner]

I want to capture and print data from a form when the submit button is pressed. I have this:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$thequestion = $HTTP_POST_VARS['question'];
print "$thequestion";
print 'Answer has been recorded - Click on another structure to continue';
}
?>

It does not seem to be executed - updated values are not printed when the form is resubmitted.

Any help appreciated.

<?
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ 
$question = $_POST['question']; 
print "$question"; 
print 'Answer has been recorded - Click on another structure to continue'; 
} else {
echo "<form action='$PHP_SELF' method='POST'>
<input type='text' name='question' maxlength='24'>
<input type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>
?>
