i am trying to create a simple form where the user enters there favorite activity into a textbox and when they click submit they are taken to my php page where it says "your favorite activity is: (Whatever they entered in the textbox)". for this i am using the method=get and i can see on the php page that the name/values are working properly. However i am not seeing it display properly in the body of the page. I have the php.ini file in my c:\windows dir and i have register_globals= On with not semicolon in front of it. I am using php5 with apache 2.0.49 and have also tried php4.3.7 with apache 2.0.49. does anyone have any ideas on how to get the form to work poperly, i know it is probably something stupid i am overlooking.

thanks

I'm not sure 'on' is supposed to be capitalized.

HTH,

i tried putting register_globals=on but still doesnt work. after i submit the form the url of the php page is "http://localhost/text.php?Activity=baseball" so i know that the name/values are assigning properly. it just the page only displays
"your favorite activity is:" instead of displaying "your favorite activity is:baseball"

to see what i mean go here: http://paperhuman.tripod.com/index.html
not sure if tripod supports php but it doesnt matter. after you type something in the box and got to the php page you will see what i mean

Aha! :D

No it appears tripod does not support PHP. Sorry :(

it really doesnt matter that tripod doesnt support php. i just put it up there to show the problem that i am having. when something is entered into the text box it does not appear on the next page. I am having the same problem with my apache and php set up and i can not figure out why. Does any one have any ideas???????
