I thought that PHP was supposed to look and see if the variable was already passed. If it was in the URL as ?variable="something" then when the page loaded and looked at that it there would automatically be a varible in the page named $variable and it would have the value "something".
I have passed the values with both the post and the get methods it does not seem to be working.
On the new page I put the following:
<?php
echo "this -> $variable <- was passed";
?>
my new page displays:
this -> <- was passed
as though the varable does not exist
I have copied examples from books and webpages and they all do the same thing. Up til now it seems that I have set my Apache server the PHP and MYSQL install up fine.
If anyone has a idea I would appriciate it.
thanks
