Hi ! I am an unexperienced PHP newbie, and a have a Problem: The following script is a sample from a PHP tutorial, but it does not work on my machine. I use PHP Ver. 4.1.2 with apache 1.3.26 on a debian box. In php.ini, "safe_mode" is off, and "register_globals" is on.
The script from the mentioned tutorial (http://www.galileocomputing.de/openbook/php4/kapd.htm) should be a sample for a php-file which invokes itself; This does not work on my machine; I can enter names and submit them as often I like, but the statement from the if-block is never executed, i.e. the output "You have entered the following name: ..." is never displayed. Here is the excerpt from this script: ---------------------------------------------------------- <html> <head> <?php if ($dispatched) { echo "You have entered the following"; echo " Name: $vn $nn<p>"; } ?> </head> <body> Please enter a Name and send the form: <form action = "ud12.php" method = "post"> <input name = "nn"> 2nd Name<p> <input name = "vn"> 1st Name<p> <input type = "submit" name = "dispatched"> <input type = "reset"> </form> </body> </html> ------------------------------------------------------------ I assume the reason is in global or general settings, but I don't know them. Does anybody know what to do ? best regards chrm
