I have just started teaching myself PHP language.
I'm studying an article about "GET", to pass arguments from one page to
another.
It is not working the way it is suppose to.
And I can't figure out what the problem (mistake) is.
This file should pass a argument to the file baseball.php
======================================================================
<html>
<head>
<title>A GET example, part 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://192.168.123.100/PHP4/baseball.php" method="GET">
<p>Root, root, root, for the:<br>
<select name="Team" size=2>
<!-- It's a good idea to use the VALUE attribute even though it is
not mandatory with the SELECT element. In this example, it's
extremely necessary. -->
<option value="Cubbies">Chicago Cubs (National League)
<option value="Pale Hose">Chicago White Sox (American League)
</select>
<p><input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
=======================================================================
File baseball.php:
=======================================================================
<html>
<head>
<title>A GET example, part2</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {font-size:24pt;}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Go,
<?php print("$Team"); ?>
!
</body>
</html>
==========================================================================
If the user makes a selection and presses SUBMIT in the first file, than the
browser put those elements together, without spaces.
The following URL string should be made:
http://192.168.123.100/PHP4/baseball.php?Team=Cubbies&Submit=Submit.
So the output should be: Go, Cubbies!
However, what I get is:
http://192.168.123.100/PHP4/baseball.php?Team=Cubbies (&Submit=Submit is
missing !
My output is: Go, !
The variable output is missing.
After many hours of searching I still haven't found the problem.
Thanks for any help.
