feyd | Please use
i.e. The Values tireqty, oilqty and sparkqty to the following page (processorder.php)[/syntax]
THe values that I type in do not show up. The only thing that appears on the page is the descriptions.
I know that there is probably a very very simple solution for this I just can't seem to find it!
Oh yeah and before you ask I have installed Apache and PHP on my local machine!!!

I'm trying to teach myself PHP and I've been working form a numer of different books. THe problem I'm having is when I pass form variables from one page to another they do not appear.
A very simple example is when I try to pass values from this page (orderform.html)
[syntax="html"]<HTML>
<form action="processorder.php" method=post>
<table border=0>
<tr bgcolor=#cccccc>
<td width=150>Item</td>
<td width=15>Quantity</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tires</td>
<td align=center><input type=”text” name=”tireqty” size=3 maxlength=3></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Oil</td>
<td align=center><input type=”text” name=”oilqty” size=3 maxlength=3></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Spark Plugs</td>
<td align=center><input type=”text” name=”sparkqty” size=3 maxlength=3></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value=”Submit Order”></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</HTML>Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<title>Bob’s Auto Parts - Order Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Bob’s Auto Parts</h1>
<h2>Order Results</h2>
<?php
echo ("Order Processed on :");
echo date(" jS F, H:i");
echo "<br>";
echo "<p>Your order is as follows:";
echo "<br>";
echo $tireqty." tires<br>";
echo $oilqty." bottles of oil<br>";
echo $sparkqty." spark plugs<br>";
?>
</body>
</html>I know that there is probably a very very simple solution for this I just can't seem to find it!
