whenever i try to do:
$ssppluser = "$_POST["user"]"

i get the error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '\"', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in action.php on line 2

Code: Select all

<?php
$ssppluser = $_POST["user"];
?>

If you are just using $ssppluser as a reference to the $_POST[] var use the following code:

Code: Select all

<?php
$ssppluser = &$_POST['user'];
?>

Why would you be? I don't think references come after learning how to set variables. I think it's after OOP in the php-learning-trend :P
