Php Self Post

This , well at least what i thought, was a basic script that should fly off without a hitch to lead to a more advanced script.

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<? print $title;
print $text;
print $submit;
?>
<form action="<? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<p>Insert Title:<br />
<INPUT type="text" name="title"><Br> Insert Blog:<br>
<textarea name="text" rows="10" cols="40"
wrap></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT"
/></p>
</form>
<? print "$title";
print "$text";
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

its supposed to gather the the appropiate variables from the form, then loop back to itself and post them. I put them above and below the script, just curious if it would make a difference. I realize that my globals are turned off, so thats why im using the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] function.. So can someone help me? Ive spent like 2 hours trying to get it to work, ive checked 2 different tutorials and my code is like 99% identical to theirs.

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<? 
$title = $_REQUEST['title'];
$text = $_REQUEST['text'];
$submit = $_REQUEST['submit'];

print $title. "<br>";
print $text. "<br>";
print $submit. "<br>";
?>
<form action="<? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<p>Insert Title:<br />
<INPUT type="text" name="title"><Br> Insert Blog:<br>
<textarea name="text" rows="10" cols="40"
wrap></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT"
/></p>
</form>
<?
 print $title. "<br>";
print $text. "<br>";
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Try this, should work, you need to get the variables that where send over post, I belive that $POST[] would work also but I have always used $Request.

Perfect. Thanks a lot, for some reason they never used the $_REQUEST in the tutorial. I dont know why, but thats a lot. This forum's been a life saver. Its too bad most of the tutorials assume that globals is turned on, thats screwed me over in the past. Thanks again!
