$_GET/$_POST does not return a value

[dscapuano]

Trying my first form. form created with a field named last_name. When I try to print the field --- print "$GET['last_name']" I get nothing. I tried moving $GET['last_name']" to a variable and then checked if it had a value. It did not. I had register_globals on / register_globals off in the php.ini file and it didn't matter.

I am running this on Madrake Linux 9.2 with:
Apache 2.0
PHP 4.3.3

Note: PHP is set up correctly in the apache config file. I can do everything except see the variables from $GET. I also tried $POST and got the same thing.

Thanks 😕

what form method are you using, GET or POST? in your form processing code do the following:

<?php
print_r($_GET);
print_r($_POST);
?>

If you are using the $GET method you will be able to see the data in the url of the page, if your using $POST then you won't see it
