Could you post the two test files!

OR

Check out these scripts:

Save the following to your www folder on UniServer

 

Note: I have corrected this post, thanks kalpz for some reason I forgot to add $_POST['Name']

 

Save as test1.html

<html>
<head>
<title>Test1</title>
</head>
<body >
<p>This test uses a standard link to call a PHP page</a></p>
<p><a href="test3.php?Name=Fred from test page 1">test3.php?Name=Fred from test page 1</a></p>
</body>
</html>

 

Save as test2.html

<html>
<head>
<title>Test2</title>
</head>
<body >
This test uses a form
<form action="test3.php" method="post" >
Name: <input type="text" name="Name" value="Fred from test page 2 using post" /></br>
<input value="Click to go to Test3.php" type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

 

Save as test3.php

<html>
<head>
<title>Test3</title>
</head>
<body >
<?
echo 'You came from page test1.html using GET  <b>'. $_GET['Name'].'</b><br>';
echo 'You came from page test2.html using POST <b>'. $_POST['Name'].'</b>';
?>
<p><a href="test1.html">Back to test page Test1.html</a></p>
<p><a href="test2.html">Back to test page Test2.html</a></p>
</body>
</html>

 

Start UniServer and type http://localhost/test1.html into your browser

And follow the three links.

 

Note: Test2 method="post" you can use method="get"

 

:lol:

Instead of doing

 

echo $name;

 

try

 

echo $_REQUEST['name'];

Thanks kalpz for some reason I forgot to add $_POST and $_GET to avoid any confusion I have replaced my original post.

 

Note: Most books refer to $_POST, $_GET and $_COOKIE these are separate arrays as you rightly point out $_REQUEST can be used its advantage is that it incorporates all three of the above.

Guys, Register Globals is Off in Uniform Server, thats why. It can be dangerous to a rookie, especially if the code is not very well coded. Thats why we turned it off.
