    Nasty Values :-)

    Hi!
    I have installed PHP 4.3.7 on Apache 2.0 on RH9.
    Everything seems to go well( When I run <?php phpinfo() ;?> it works)
    but I can't manage up with values.Even in the simplest programm, I
    can't write out TEXTBOX's value:
    <HTML>
    <FORM>
    Please type your name here:<BR>
    <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=username>< BR><BR>
    <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit data">
    </FORM>
    <BR><BR>
    You typed:
    <?php
    echo($username) ;
    ?>
    </HTML>

    Output is:
    You typed:

    what it wrong?
    Thanks.

      Try
      echo $_GET['username'];
      [color=blue]

      register_global s is wrong.

          This is all in one page?
          [color=blue]

          $username is not set until the user submits the data, either by pressing
          the submit button or by other means. You need to have an action with the
          form, e.g.,

          <FORM action="myPhpSc ript.php">
          ....
          </FORM>

          on a web page. Enter a name in that page, e.g., "Joe Schmoe", and press
          the submit button. Then, myPhpScript.php will print "You typed: Joe
          Schmoe" (assuming no errors in your code).
