No. Not sure what you are trying to do with that but you appear to be
incorrectly using HTML and PHP to produce a mishmash. (No offense
intended, just calling like I sees it).
To send a variable/value from an HTML page to a PHP script, you must put
the variable in a form or in the URL. An HTML form can use either the GET
or POST methods; a URL uses only the GET method.
PHP then takes whatever is sent and makes it accessible to the script in
either ( ( the $_POST global array OR the $_GET global array ) AND the
$_REQUEST global array ).
For clarification, read this:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php
and this:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.get
Also, the original post has some obvious errors in it that could be typos.
Did you retype it or copy and paste it from the real source?
