Unable to echo POST input

[Odisey]

Hello,
I am still getting these concepts. Help me learn. What is wrong here? Most echos are for testing.


Thank you,
Odisey


[CODE=php]<?php #index php script 3.4

echo '<p> 1 </p>';

require_once ('mysql_connect _wvdiamonds.php '); //Connect to server


echo '<p> Connected </p>';

$id=1;

echo '<p> ID </p>';

$query = "SHOW header FROM details1 WHERE des_id_pg1=$id" ;

echo '<p> Query </p>';

$result = mysql_query($qu ery);

echo '<p> Result </p>';

echo "<p> $_POST('$result ') </p>";

echo '<p> Post echo 1</p>';

?>[/CODE]

Changed thread title to better match contents.

[code=php]
// Try this:
echo $_POST['varname'];

// Instead of this:
echo $_POST('varname ');

// Also note that if you want to use an array element in a string, you must either omit the quote marks around the key name, or else use curly syntax:
echo "$_POST[varname]";
echo "{$_POST['varname']}";
