newbie: testing locally on mac 10.2: syntax?
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2003 5:21 pm
I am just starting to learn php.
On a Mac with 10.2.4 using dreamweaver mx.
I am doing a tutorial from webmonkey:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/01/ ... rogramming
What i dont understand is why this code works on my live site, but not on my localhost?
The above works on my live site, but not locally the variables are empty.
And the following works on both, local and live.
Is this the preferred syntax?
Am I getting ahead of myself, will the answer be more clear as I learn more of the basics?
Thanks.
