Failure passing variable

[Anon]

I'm using a html form to pass variables from one page to another like -

<form action='abc.php' method='post'>
<input type='text' name='name' value='sayma'>
</form>

its working fine. But he problem is when i use -

<form action='abc.php' method='post' enctype='mulipart/form-data'>
<input type='text' name='name' value='sayma'>
</form>

is not working. finally i found the problem is that the 'nctype=multipart/form-data'. If i use form without this script is working fine but when i use this script is not working. I think i able to make u the problem. Help me please.

maybe there is something wrong in your php.ini file. I had to re-write mine as php was not passing variables at all even if they were in the address bar!!

I assume you copy/pasted the code. If yuo did there is a misspelling. it should be "multipart" not "mulipart". It's not clear from your example that you need enctype anyway unless you are uploading a file that you didn't show.

Found my problem. It is with the register_global setting for PHP. Apple's security update for Apache wasn't the issue. I found a website that explains what has transpired since PHP 4.1.0 in respect to security issues. There are some new implementations to how you acquire html variables when passing them to pages. The url is below. For us newbies like myself, spread the word. I'm not sure how to implement all of the changes yet, but have begun the journey. Thanks in advance. 🙂
