problem parsing data

[Anon]

i have the 2 pages below and am unable to parse data for some reason, when I submit the data I am presented with a page just saying "Hello !"

it should have parsed the name input on the first page.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong or what would be the correct way to parse data.

Could there be something wrong with my php configuration?

the pages that I have are as below

===============

hello-web.html

<form action="hello-web.php" method="post">
<td>Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="yourname" size="24">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

===============

hello-web.php

<p>Hello

<?php echo($yourname); ?>!

Try this as page 2:

<?php
$yourname=$_REQUEST['yourname'];
echo "<p>Hi $yourname!</p>";
?>

If this works, you most likely have "register globals" turned off in your PHP.INI.

If you are not using the most recent versions of PHP, try this instead:

$yourname=$HTTP_POST_VARS['yourname'];

$_REQUEST (in PHP 4.1(?)) gets GET, POST, or COOKIE variables.
