New to PHP - Problem with variables

Variables not showing up in the output

[ezehra]

Hi

I am learning PHP and was trying out the following code:

<?php print('<input type="text" name="person" value="' . $person . '" size="15" >');
?>

<?php
print('Hi ' . $person . '' );
?>

(This is not the complete code)

When I upload it, I only see "Hi" with no variable although I am inputting the variable and it shows in the URL of the file.

How can I solve this?

Thanks

$_POST['person'] [php.net]

Hi

Yes i am aware of the $_POST option but I am just wondering why the

( . $person . );

is not working.

Any clues?

Thanks

More than likely the register_globals variable is turned off on your server. You can check it using

php_info()

. See Using Register Globals [us2.php.net] for more information.

That seemed to be the problem.

Thanks
