Hi all,
Here is my two files. orderform, and processorder.php.
I am using "POST" to pass the data the user enters in this simple form, but the data is not printed by processform.
I also tried 'get' and it does not work with that either. However it works with "REQUEST".
Oh, one more thing, when I use 'get' or 'post' I see the infomation being passed on through the address bar. I thought this was only for 'get' and not for 'post'.
I am using Windows XP, Apache 1.3, and php 5.0.
Thanks a bunch
