I am just trying to do something as simple as passing a password to the next page, and it will not work. I am a beginner with php, and the most I can actually do is the print() function... here is the code for form.html
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Form</Title>
</Head>
<Body>
<form action="HandleForm.php" Method=GET>
Password <input type=TEXT Name="Pass"><br>
<input type=SUBMIT name="SUBMIT">
</form>
</Body>
</HTML>
And here is the code for HandleForm.php:
<?php
print "Your password was $Pass<br>";
?>
Could anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?????? Please?? Thanks for n e hlp in advance!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Oh yeah, this is the error I keep getting:
Dumb Notice:
Notice: Undefined variable: Pass in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\l3vi\handleform.php on line 2

<?php
echo "<html><head><title>HTML Form</Title></Head><Body>";
?>
<form action="HandleForm.php" Method="post">
<?php
echo "Password ";
echo ("<input type=TEXT Name="Pass"><br>";
?>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.writeln ( '<input type=SUBMIT name="SUBMIT">');
</SCRIPT>
</form>
<?php
if (count($_POST > 0)){
$pass = $_POST['Pass'];
echo "here is your password ". $pass;
}
?>
</Body>
</HTML>
that should work. Its uses alot of php and some JS. if you can't see anything for the $_POST then try using var_dump($_POST); cause that will display the ARRAY that it creates.
Hope that helps.

Never Mind. I didnt think It would be that complicated just to pass one var to another page. Is it suppost to be that complicated??? cuz if it is, I really am just going to skip learning PHP.
Either your host sucks or your computer sucks, or *cough* *cough* somebody *cough* *cough* sucks.
Just kiddin :D
Try http://www.firepages.com.au and install it on your computer.
Even a MONKEY can learn PHP.

if $_POST['Pass'] does not work (assuming method="post") then try $HTTP_POST_VARS['Pass'];
if so tell your host to upgrade to PHP >=4.1 ASAP
if method="get" then use $_GET['Pass'] OR $HTTP_GET_VARS['Pass']
just to confuse you can also use $_REQUEST['Pass'] , which will pick up any POST , GET or COOKIE vars.
a foolproof versionof your original code would be...
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Form</Title>
</Head>
<Body>
<form action="HandleForm.php" Method=GET>
Password <input type="TEXT" Name="Pass"><br>
<input type="SUBMIT" name="SUBMIT">
</form>
</Body>
</HTML>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HandleForm.php:
<?php
print "has to work al versions ! >> Your password was ".$HTTP_GET_VARS['Pass']."<br>";
print "only on PHP>=4.1 ! >> Your password was ".$_GET['Pass']."<br>";
print "again only on PHP>=4.1 ! >> Your password was ".$_REQUEST['Pass']."<br>";
print "use braces to stop errors {} Your password was {$_GET['Pass']}<br>";
?>
I know there is a lot of choice there which can be confusing at first - but once you have PHP>=4.1 then you will quickly get used to using $_POST,$_GET,$_COOKIE etc .
whilst we are here :)
$_GET['Pass'];
and
$_GET[Pass];
and
$_GET['pass'];
are potentially 3 different variables ! - always quote your variable names unless you intend otherwise & remember variables are case sensitive.
this does cause problems when utilisising the variables though , eg
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE field=$_POST['field']");
will cause an error , using braces however will stop the error.
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE field={$_POST['field']}");
