Really simple PHP question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I made a script to take the users information they add into the text field “username” and print it to the page after hitting submit. Here’s my script:

[CODE]
<?php
if (($_POST[username] == “”) || ($_POST[password] == “”)) {
header(“Location: page1.html”);
exit;
}

else {
echo $_POST[username];
}
?>
[/CODE]

It doesn’t seem to work though.

[code=php]if(!isset($_POST['username'])){
echo "username is not set";
if(strlen($_POST['username']) == 0){
echo "username has no characters";
}
}else{
echo "username is ".$_POST['username'];
}[/code]

Do you want me to post my form that I have?

@BoarsHellMar 16.2007 — Sure, post your form.

If you want to try a simple test with out using the form. Change the post variables to get variables in the script ($_POST change to $_GET) and then go to your php page and add the get variable to the url (ex. if you use the url like this... page1.php?$username=[COLOR="DarkRed"]tom[/COLOR] the script should print out a blank page with just the name tom)

@AscendancyauthorMar 16.2007 — I'm sorry, I don't follow what you mean... Haha. Well here is as basic as I could make it, and it still didn't work:

[CODE]
<form method="post" action="names.php">
<input type="text" name="username" length="20" />Username<br />
<br />
<input type="password" name="password" length="20" />Password<br />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
[/CODE]
Simple form. The password actually isn't used in this script yet. Then I changed my PHP page to this:

[CODE]
<html>
<head>
<title>Names</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php
ehco "$_POST[username]";
?>
</body>
</html>
[/CODE]

@BoarsHellMar 16.2007 — you have a typo in names.php

you typed ehco and meant echo
