[PHP] Re: $_POST trouble with html form

[Paul Furman]

OK, it's only when I call $_POST["comment"] in the included action file 
that I get "Forbidden You don't have permission to access...[error 
message]". I set it up with the action as an include because if I tried 
to just give the location, it tried to download jpeg-comment.php. Like I 
said, this is all new to me. I never used "form action=" before, 
especially not with PHP. php.net assumes I know all this <g>.

Why am I getting the error "Undefined index: comment"?

It's probably a typo because I had something similar that worked.

<form action="<?php include (ACTION_DIR."/jpeg-comment.php"); ?>" 
method="post">
    <textarea name="comment" ROWS=6 COLS=60>
      <?php print $comments[$thumb_num] ?>
    </textarea><br>
    <input type="submit" value="update annotation">
</form>
    <?php
    echo $_POST["comment"]; # this is just for debugging
    ?>

Also perhaps related, when I call $_POST["comment"] in the action file, 
it gives me "Forbidden You don't have permission to access...[error 
message]" but this is my own server at home. I'm quite unfamiliar with 
forms (and new to PHP for that matter).
