Hi Petre, Thanks for the reply, I have actually tried this too and all the output I get is "Welcome !" but the username that was entered into the form box should appear between the Welcome and !, Please take a look at the code below:
>>First page named: jobapp.html
-<HTML> <!-- Jobapp.html--> <BODY> <H1>Practice app</H1> <p>Fill in the name and echo it back to the user.</p> <FORM NAME='frmJobApp' METHOD=post action="jobapp_action.php"> Please enter your name: <INPUT NAME="applicant" TYPE="text"><br> <INPUT NAME="enter" TYPE="submit" VALUE="Enter"> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> --------------------------------------- >>Second page: named jobapp_action.php
Welcome <?php echo $applicant; ?>!
Unless your register_globals is set to on, you should be using
<?PHP echo $_POST['applicant']; ?>
instead
