PHP5 is not passing form values from input variables

Hi,

I am working with PHP5 and I am not able to even pass values from an HTML form to a php script. The crazy part about this condition is the other day it was working fine. I have apache 2.2, and php5 installed on my notebook and also I have turned on the register_globals to equal on in the php.ini file.

Also, I am doing this with an HTML page using a form input variable that gets a php script and the php script should be able to read the variable that I create in the HTML page.

It is a very simple HTML form and php script:

<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="checkbox.php">
Have you eaten shrimp before?
<INPUT NAME="Choice" TYPE="Checkbox">
<BR>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
------------------------------------------------------------------
(PHP SCRIPT)

<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
echo $Choice;
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I do not know if this is php or windows causing this problem.

I just need to get this to work on my notebook so I can write some php scripts and test the scripts locally on the notebook.

Any help is appreciated.

try the following code plz.

Code:

<html>
    <head>HTML Page</head>
    <body>
        <form method="post" action="checkbox.php">
            have you eaten shrimp before?
            <input type="checkbox" name="choice"  />
            <br>
            <br>
            <input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit">
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

Code:

<html>
    <head>PHP File(checkbox.php)</head>
    <body>
        <pre>
        <?php
            echo $_POST['choice'];
            echo "\n";
            print_r($_POST);
            echo "\n";
            print_r($_GET);
        ?>
        </pre>
    </body>
</html>

thanks

I appreciate the script and thank you very much.

I also went ahead and upgraded the php and got it working on the old code as well now.

Thank You...
