| Howdy,
I'm creating a register form which passes some user values to my php file
using POST
here's the code:
form name="register" method="post" action="register.php">
<tr>
<td>User Name:</td>
<td><input name="user_id" type="text" value="" size="20"/> </td>
</tr>
in my php file I'm trying to get the value of user_id by doing this:
$user_id = $_POST["user_id"];
but when I echo $user_id nothing appears so I guess the value isn't be
passed as I woud expect.
I'm sur eI'm making a very elementary mistake but I just cannot figure out
what's wrong?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

| Try the following as a test:
<?php
echo $_POST['var'];
?>
<form name="form" method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
<input name="var" type="text" id="var">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Your example didn't give any problems here btw.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. I tried out your code and got the same error message
as with my code posted earlier - Undefined index: var in C:\webdev\test.php
on line 3 - so I guess my php must be broken somehow!! or maybe it's apache
but it all seems to be working fine. It's been a while since I've worked
with php and I don't remember altering its settings or anything.
This is very odd indeed!
I tested phpinfo() to check and that worked - im using version 5.0.4
I'm  as to how I can solve this problem.

I assume that in reality, your HTML isn't this screwed up?

What version of PHP are you using? Older than PHP 4.1.0, you need to use
$HTTP_POST_VARS.
