passing a variable from a form to php

[bawar]

Hellow,

I don't seem to be able to send trough the variable 'language' from my
form to the php-variable $language that I want to use in my session...
I first tried in the form with a drop down menu (select) and now with
radio-buttons but it won't work... What am I doing wrong?
BTW: the variable 'toevoegen' is passed correctly from the form to the
php.

<?php

session_start() ;
session_registe r('language');

echo("Taal is $language <p/>");
echo("Toevoegen =$toevoegen <p/>");
if (!IsSet($langua ge)){

$result = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM languages ORDER BY mylanguage");
if (!$result) {
echo("<P><b>Fou t bij uitvoeren query: </b>" .
mysql_error() . "</P>");
exit();
}
echo("<FORM ACTION='$PHP_SE LF' METHOD='POST'>< INPUT TYPE='hidden'
NAME='toevoegen ' VALUE='1'>");
while (($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result))){
echo("<INPUT TYPE='radio' NAME='language' >".$row["mylanguage "]);
}
echo("<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='kies_taal ' VALUE='Choose
language...'>") ;
echo("</FORM>");
}

else{
echo("Uw taal is $language !");
}
?>

use $_POST['language'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] $_POST['toevoegen'],
$_SESSION['language'], etc.

or, look up register_global s...
