[PHP-DB] Re: Passing variables from HTML to PHP

2004-08-31 Thread Jasper Howard
if the checkbox is checked then you'll get the value in the php script. If
globals are turned on then echo $foo; will work, otherwise you have to use
something like: echo $_POST['foo'];

its a good idea to write your scripts without dependency on globals being
turned on, its a security risk for it to be on.

Hi all.
This might be a simple answer, but I'm still not sure what the case 
is.
Okay, so I have a  in my html that has some s. These each
have a `name` and a `value` attribute to them, of course.

I cannot seem to access the name/value pair in my php without using 
the
$_POST method/variable names. Are you able to without $_POST? Example:

---
html:

php:
do this:
echo "foo = " . $foo; // foo = bar
or this:
echo "foo = " . $_POST["foo"]; // foo = bar
---
So, should both of those php examples work the same?
Thanks!
~Philip
