Thanks for the tip. I have another issue once I click on a form. Could you
take a quick look at this one:
//----------- START OF CODE ------
<html><body>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
First name:<input type="Text" name="first"><br>
Last name:<input type="Text" name="last"><br>
Address:<input type="Text" name="address"><br>
Position:<input type="Text" name="position"><br>
<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information">
</form>
</body></html>
// ------ END OF CODE ----
I open it and I get the following text boxes:
First name: < BALANK TEXT BOX>
Last name: < BALANK TEXT BOX>
Address: < BALANK TEXT BOX>
Position: < BALANK TEXT BOX>
< Enter Information BUTTON IS HERE>
Once I click onthe Enter Information button I get the following error:
// -------- START OF ERROR ------
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /<br /><b>Notice</b>: Undefined
variable: PHP_SELF in <b>C:/Program Files/Apache
Group/Apache/htdocs/mysql4.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br /> on this server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/1.3.27 Server at localhost Port 80
//-------- END OF ERROR ---------
Thanks again for you help
