variables not showing
hi everybody
i am new in the forum
i am running php4 on a windows 2000 machine using iis5.
i have downloaded php4 and for the first chapters everything worked okey.
now i have this problem:
i write something in a text field and when i am calling a simple php script to view the contents of the variable nothing happens
i give you the code:
the html code
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="actor.php">
actor:<input name="actor" type="text">
<br>
<br>
<br>
<input type=submit value="click here to submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
the php code
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo $actor;
?>
</body>
</html>
why can't i see the contents of teh variable? should i change things in teh php.ini file?
thanks a lot
