[PHP] Problems transferring variables between two files

[AncientPC]

Try to learn PHP and run this script locally on my computer:
http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~wting/php/badwords_form.html

I know the code's fine because . . . it works.

I installed Apache 2.0 and PHP 4.2.3.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Works locally, as does regular PHP code and local variables, but when trying to pass variables using the method in the first link doesn't work. Using the form post / get post method both don't work.

Is it because I don't have MySQL installed?

What are you trying to do? I don't quite understand your question. You shouldn't need MySQL running to pass variables between pages.

In order to use variables sent to the other page via POST or GET, you need to access them the following way:

$_POST['variablename']
or
$_GET['variablename']

If that's not what you are asking for, I am sorry, but your post is really unclear. (i.e. you did not pass most of the variables to me... 🙂 )

RSMemphis: That's exactly what was wrong. Thank you very much.
