I created a simple form to use to install a script I made on my localhost's mysql server. When I run the script the variables from the form aren't forewarded to the php script. Here are the two scripts stripped down.:

The Form: installform.html

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Install Login</title> <style type="text/css">  </style> </head> <body> <div align="center" class="style1">Install Login!</div> <form method="post" action="install.php"> <p>Database Username <input name="db_user" type="text" value="root" /> <input type="submit" name="sumbit" value="Install" /> </form> </body> </html>

Here is the php scirpt: install.php

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <title>Install Login!</title> </head> <body> <? echo "Database User = $db_user<Br>"; ?> </body> </html>

When I run the form and click sumbit, the php script says $db_user has no value

Thanks for your time...

Reread your thread subject:

Apache and PHP POST Variable

And now your code:

Code: Select all
echo "Database User = $db_user<Br>";

Why don't you use the variable from the thread subject?

Code: Select all: echo "Database User = $_POST['db_user']<Br>";

BTW:
Please read the PHP manual about "external variables".
