php not picking up a variable

Post by m3rajk »

code in use: http://people.brandeis.edu/~m3rajk/JMT/ ... signup.php
code minus opening <?php: http://people.brandeis.edu/~m3rajk/JMT/ ... signup.txt

main issue (only one that MUST be resolved): php is not picking up the variable step in the submission of the 4th step.
function that creates the 4th step:

Code: Select all

<?php
function s4(){
  ?>      <h1>THIS IS A TEST. IT DOES NOT HAVE A DATABASE CONNECTION NOR DOES IT CHECK USERNAMES. THIS LINE WILL BE REMOVED IN THE REAL ONE </h1>

1.) close the <form> tag and see if it works out then ...

2.) if the regular expressions got /^ at the beginning and $/ at the end, it has to match the whole string.
