    Question from beginner

    Hello,
    I try to use php, but I have problem with forms.

    I have a file named test.php like that:
    <FORM ACTION="test.ph p" METHOD="POST">
    type your name, then submit :
    <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=name>
    <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Submit">
    </FORM>
    <P>
    your name is
    <?php
    echo "$name";
    ?>

    And I have this error:
    Notice: Undefined variable: name in c:\program
    files\easyphp1-8\www\epc\test. php on line 9

    What's wrong

    Thank you.
    Antoine

          It's wrong again.
          It's very bizarre!

              Antoine,
              There are really three things wrong with the code you have sent us:
              1. it needs to be contained within an <html> tag set (i.e. valid html)
              2. the values to the attributes should be in quotes
              3. the value of the input tag 'name' is contained in $_POST['name'], not
              $name.

              Here is your code reworked so that it does what you expect:
              <html>
              <head></head>
              <body>
              <form action="test.ph p" method="POST">
              type your name, then submit:
              <input type="text" name="name">
              <input type="submit" value="Submit">
              </form>
              <p>
              your name is <?php echo $_POST['name'];?>
              </body>
              </html>

              -david-
              p.s. I use lowercase because I don't like code SHOUTING at me ;-)

                  Antoine,

                  There are a little bit more information about why to use $_POST['name']
                  instead of $name:

                      Thank you very much. I think it's the good way.
                      But now it's late, time to bed, I'll see it tomorrow.
                      Tomorrow is another day
                      bye
