[PHP] newbie bigtime

2002-05-15 Thread k spellman

Just opened a "How to" book today on PHP. Already
having problems and wouldn't mind an extra set of
eyes. My basic form does not produce results.Any
thoughts on this one?

Thanks!

The code for form.html is



HTML Form



First Name 
Last Name 
E-mail Address 
Comments 






and the code for the HandleForm.php is 



Form Results


\n";
print "Your last name is $LastName.\n";
print "Your E-mail Address is $Email.\n";
print "This is what you had to say:\n
$Comments\n";

?>



And the book suggested POST instead of GET because it
is stated that Post is secure and GET is not.

Thanks,
spellman
