Why isn't this working?! Is there a problem in my PHP-configuration?!
The name of this document is testar.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
echo $var;
?>
<form action="testar.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="var">
<input type="submit" value="Shoot">
</form>
</body>
</html>
It's like it doesn't send the variable "$var" to the page. I've tried to send it to another page but it doesn't work there either!

If you view the source in the browser,
do you see <? echo $var ?> or nothing?
If you see <? echo $var ?> then your webserver doesn't know that you want to use php. Not a php-configuration problem, but a apache(or other webserver software) configuration problem.

I see nothing..
if I write..
$var = "Hello";
echo $var;
.. I see Hello.. So somehow it doesn't send the variable from the form..

It must be something wrong with my computer becouse it works on my server..
Maybe I have to reinstall PHP and all that stuff..
