[Resolved] form variable not being passed

Dutch_MaFia-boy

Hi:

I have a simple form where users will enter their username and get a greeting message returned. The form has a variable name of "username" and its variable is not being passed to be processed by the php. I'm a n00b.

Thanks.

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Enter your name</title></head>
      <body>

<form action = "<?php print $PHP_SELF?>" method="POST">
Please enter your name:<br>
<input type="text" size=26 name="username">
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"
</form>

</body>
  </title>
</html>





<?php
function message()
 {
    print "Welcome to my webpage<br>";
 }
?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Input Name</title>
<body>
## This page handles the form input from welcomeusername/index.php
<?php
print "Hello ".$_POST['username'].".<br>\n";
message(); //call the message() function
  {
  }
?>
</body>
</html>

fixed it:

This is what my code looks like now:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Enter your name</title></head>
      <body>

<form method="post" action="index.php">
Please enter your name:<br>
<input type="text" size=26 name="username">
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"
</form>

</body>
  </title>
</html>





<?php
function message()
 {
    print "Welcome to my webpage<br>";
 }
?>






<html>
<head>
<title>Input Name</title>
<body>

<?php
## This page handles the form input from welcomeusername/index.php
print "Hello ".$_POST['username'].".<br>\n";
message(); //call the message() function
  {
  }
?>
</body>
</html>
