something is wrong...submit not working

[superjan]

Hi.
I have tried to install apache, php and mysql on WIN2000 (locally) and everything seemed to work ok. But, there IS something wrong with the PHP. If I make an easy form with a submit-button and a if($submit)-statement at the top, I get the message: "undefined variable: submit".

There has to be some wrong settings somewhere, cos when I tried the code on another server it worked fine....

Help, anyone..please.

You should use $POST["submit"] instead of $submit. "Register global" is, by default, set to off, so form variables aren't simple $ + their name... you can turn Register global on, but I think $POST["submit"] is better (for security reasons). By the way, if your request method is POST, use $POST["variable name"]
If it is GET, use $GET["variable name"]

Thanks H.L.
I'm used to use only $submit, so I prefer to go on with that...
Where do I turn Register global on? In the php.ini file?
