WAMP 1.6 installed. I'm using a html form and .php to get user input. However, when I use $_POST, it doesn't work.
On another box without WAMP, $_POST works.
Please help. Thanks

could u give us some of the code? my guess is there is a semi-colon or some such missing. had plenty of these errors, some taking forever to fix, but having someone else look at it usually helps a lot.

Dear Reilly Miller,
Here's the content of calculate_form.html and calculate.php
calculate_form.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Calculation Form</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="calculate.php">
<P>Value 1: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="val1" SIZE=10></P>
<P>Value 2: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="val2" SIZE=10></P>
<P>Calculation:<br>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="calc" VALUE="add"> add<br>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="calc" VALUE="subtract"> subtract<br>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="calc" VALUE="multiply"> multiply<br>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="calc" VALUE="divide"> divide</P>
<P><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Calculate"></P>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
caculate.php
<?
if (($_POST[val1] == ""
|| ($_POST[val2] == "" || ($_POST[calc] == "") {
header("Location: calculate_form.html";
exit;
}
if ($_POST[calc] == "add" {
$result = $_POST[val1] + $_POST[val2];
} else if ($_POST[calc ] == "subtract"{
$result = $_POST[val1] - $_POST[val2];
} else if ($_POST[calc ] == "multiply"{
$result = $_POST[val1] * $_POST[val2];
} else if ($_POST[calc ] == "divide"{
$result = $_POST[val1] / $_POST[val2];
}
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Calculation Result</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>The result of the calculation is: <? echo "$result"; ?></p>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I run it from serveral of my hosting sites and it works. It only doesn't work with WAMP. It doesn't work the result at all. All it does is showing "The result of the calculation is" and that's it.
Thank you for your help,
Regards,

With arrays use:
$_POST['val1']
instead of:
$_POST[val1]
You need to put some ' ' ' ' '
$_POST['val1']
instead of:
$_POST[val1]

Or maybe it's <? you use.
Start php with <?php
and switch with <? ?>

Dear Flex,
Thank you very much for your help. Yes, it was the <? ?> that made the program not running. I'm surprised because in all of the PHP books that I've been reading, they said that <? ?> was standard. I followed your instruction by replacing <??> with <?php ?> and it worked
.
Thanks again and Happy New Year brother.
