I have read the advice about superglobals, when globals are off. But in ch16 I cannot see what to do - target is used to direct the form action file. Not Post or Get.
$criteria gets an error message re no value.
<FORM NAME="search" ACTION="mall.php" target="mall">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="criteria" SIZE="20">
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Search">

Can someone point out what I can do?

There is no method attribute in the <form> tag. In this case, the method defaults to GET.

You can add a method (post OR get) to the form and modify the recieving code appropriately.


Take care,
