When we submit the form the form data is retrieved by using

$TextBoxName as per the book.
But it is not working.
If i see the PHP manual, they have given that $_POST[TextBoxName]

Whether it is given for Windows environment?
and in arrays also in the book,
 $Arr1=new array[]
it is also displaying errors.

Hi Rajanikrishna,

For the $_POST[TextBoxName] reference

This needs to be quoted. TextBoxName in this reference is first assumed a defined constant and then is considered a string. This would throw an error message under error_reporting = E_ALL

So you would use $_POST["TextBoxName"] or $_POST['TextBoxName'];

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

The register_globals topic has been discussed quite a bit on this and the other PHP forums.

See the FAQ:

I don't know if $Arr1 = new array[]; is the best way of doing things.
I would think that PHP would be looking for a class named array and then choke on the brackets. The 'new' keyword is used to instigate an instance of a class. And the brackets would cause a syntax error because PHP expects a class name or reference to a constructor function.

Try $Arr1 = array(); which will create an empty array.

I'm still trying to track down a URL on PHP.net that explains what keywords are and which ones do what. I will post that later if I find it.

There are two things that I feel need to be mentioned:

A Windows environment should have nothing to do with how your script works. $_GET and $_POST are arrays holding data sent to you by the user either via the URL query string or a form.

Also, you should always use the PHP manual when you're confused. The PHP site has a really handy automatic search feature that searches the manual if you look for a page that doesn't exist.

For example:

  http://www.php.net/array

will take you to the manual page describing the array() function.


Let's analyze this one line:

$Arr1=new array[];

"array" is the name of a function, so there's a parse error because PHP expects parenthesis to begin a parameter list, not square brackets.

Also, PHP only uses the word "new" when creating new instances of defined classes.

Your syntax looks like you're confusing things with a more Javascript-esque approach.


Take care,

Nik
