Hello,
I am trying to do a simple form (text fields only). The users enter, submit, then there is a confirmation page and information is sent to an email. When 'submit' is clicked there is no information returned from the $_POST variable. Here is the code:

[PHP]
$to="MyEmail@MyAddress.com";
$subject=$_POST['course'];
echo "<p>Thank you" $_POST['name'] "!<br>";
echo "Your assignment for" $_POST['course'] "has been submitted.";
//mail string to send to email
$msg = "NAME: " $_POST['name'];
$msg .= "LICENSE NO: " $_POST['license'];
$msg .= "EMAIL: " $_POST['email'];
$msg .= "DATE: " $_POST['mydate'];
$msg .= "QUESTION 1: " $_POST['q1'];
$msg .= "QUESTION 2:" $_POST['q2'];
$headers ="FROM: " $_POST['email'];
//set up mail
mail($to,$subject,$msg,$headers);
?>
[/PHP]

The form action and textfields values are correct. I get the "text" but nothing from the html form. Now, my remote host supports php, so thats not an issue. I am working in DWMX 2003, PHP 5.0.2, on WinXP pro.
I am getting very frustrated and could really use some expertise.
Thanks.

Oops, this is a bad way to start out...I have posted this in the wrong forum.

Whenever you use _POST make sure you preface the logic with a statement like:

if (isset(_POST['submit']) {
.
.
.
}

Now in your HTML form make sure you specify POST as the method. Generally speaking as long as your server is PHP enabled and the action statement in HTML points to your PHP script and the method is correct you should be good to go.

Let me know if you would like a simple sample of a HTML page that calls a PHP script.
