A variable passed from HTML by the POST method is $_POST['r'] or
$_POST['p'], *not* $r or $p. (Also see $_GET for variables
passed by the GET method). Fix your script. Do not turn
on "register_globa ls".

Re: problems with POST

echo "\$p = $p<br><br>";

to

echo "\$p = " . $_POST['p'] . "<br><br>";

but still not working :(

Re: problems with POST

Don't know much about PHP, but it does appear you are sending "<body>"
twice, once in line 2 and once in line 7. The one in line 2 should be
deleted so the "<head>" section of the page comes first. Or you need to
rearrange the order of your statements.

Yes, you are right about the double <head>, this was due to shortening the
script and missing this repeat.
However, this makes absolutely no difference to the operation of the script.

This will work, you have to set up an submit button
(javascript or nativ html to send your form data)

If you would like to have an image you should prefer JavaScript.
If a simple HTML - Button is enougth try the simple Submit Button like
in my example.
Have Fun...

<?php
echo "<html>";
echo "\$p = ".$_POST['p']."<br><br>"; //###
$str = <<<HTM
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="r" value="w">
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="f">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
HTM;
echo $str;
?>

How are you submitting your form? I don't see a submit button, for
instance.

I thought the same till I looked up the HTML-specification at

Forms in HTML documents

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.4

Apparently the input of image type serves as a submit button.

Use $_POST or $HTTP_POST_VARS as others have suggested ($_POST
is preferred, $HTTP_POST_VARS only if $_POST does not work, which
means that you have OLD version of PHP).

Give some value to the "action" attribute. Using empty "action"
works differently in different browser. Your browser probably
does not send the data in this case.

Why are you building HTML this way just to echo it?

Try this:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
$_POST <?php print_r( $_POST ); ?>
$HTTP_POST_VARS <?php print_r( $HTTP_POST_VARS ); ?>
</pre>
<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchar s( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ); ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="r" value="w" />
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="f" />
<input type="image" src="http://home/images/faq-up.gif" border="0"
height="22" width="77" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

And check HTML source which gets generated before and after submiting
the form. If it still does not work (does not output the posted values),
then send what you got to this thread.

Yes, that's correct, the image acts as the submit button ;-)

action="" posts the data to the file\page that is loaded.
As you will also see from the OP, the data *is* being sent

the FORM_P f and FORM_R w are the data that have been received. Only I can't
seem to 'get hold' of them.

There is some problem with your above action as it sends the post to

http://home/public_html/test.php

not

http://home/test.php

the absolute path to the script is C:/XITAMI-25/APP/public_html/test.php
where C:/XITAMI-25/APP/public_html/ is analogous to my server's http://home

I have also added the following to my script

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {echo "{$key}={$value }<br>";}

and this doesn't print anything. Very strange. How can I get

FORM_P f
FORM_R w

yet $_POST appears to be empty¿

The further I go, the less I know
