Form values not...echo'ing...
This isn't printing the form variable, any ideas why?
The HTML: (tst.html)
Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="processform.php">
<input type="text" value="Dodger" id="name" name="name">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The PHP: (processform.php)
PHP Code:
<? echo "Hey $name, what's shakin'?"; ?>
Running: PWS on Win98.
Just prints: "Hey , what's shakin'?"
TIA.

never mind, I think I need to set register_globals to true, or use $_REQUEST['name'] instead...

Yes. Starting in PHP 4.2, register_globals is off by default. The "correct" way to handle for variables after 4.2 is to use either $_GET, $_POST or $_REQUEST.
