    i can't seem to pass values with php

    I am trying to study php from a book. But the code doesn't seem to
    work for me. I set up a form, as follows:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>form</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <form action="results .php" method="GET">
    <p>Name: <input type="text" name="name">
    <P>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit">
    <input type="Reset"></form>
    </body>
    </html>

    Then I wrote some code for a processing file titled "results.ph p" as
    instructed:

    <head>
    <title>form results</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php
    print("<p>Name : <b>$name</b>\n");
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    But if I type "Jones" in the name field, it doesn't pass the name
    value on to the form "results" page. It puts it up in the location bar
    as

    /php/results.php?nam e=jones&Submit=

    But it doesn't appear on the Web page.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for any help.

      You just need to grab the value in the (automatically created) variable
      $_GET

      Like so

      $name = $_GET["name"];
      echo $name; // should say "hones"

          Now that I think about it, maybe it should say "jones"

          If it says "hones", please post a follow up. That would be something.

              I noticed that Message-ID:
              <5e4c628e.04080 80938.2e3e0b78@ posting.google. com> from Matthew Lasar
              contained the following:
              [color=blue]
              >I am trying to study php from a book.[/color]

              $_GET a newer book.

                  and $_POST the authors of the original book with the words:
                  [self, you, shit, little, fu*k, piece, garbage, go] for writing this book.

                      PHP *used* to work that way.

                      The book's code probably worked correctly when it was written.

                              Calm down and take a $_COOKIE. Prior to 4.2.0 PHP worked as described in
                              the book. In 4.2.0 the default value for register_global s went to OFF.

                              Using Register Globals
                              404 Not Found
