WampServer

hi.. I've installed wamp5 . I can access normal php scripts. but if i want to pass
value to a variable of a "php script " from a "form of html file" ...the php file can't
get the value .If i print that value in the php file ..it prints nothing.

the code is similar to

what'sName.html

<form method = "get"
action = "hiUser.php">

hiUser.php

<?php
print "<h3>Hi there, $userName!</h3>";
?>

hiUser.php just prints "Hi there, !"

Should I configure the php.ini file for it ....or should i do??

registe globals was disabled by the php development team for security reasons in php version 4.2. wamp uses php 5.2.x. so, now when you use a script php creates super globals for those values. since you used the form method type of get in your from, you can access your variable from the super globals array like this:

$_GET['userName']

so, change your script to:
<?php
print "<h3>Hi there, " . $_GET['userName'] . "!</h3>";
?>

if you had used form method = "post" instead, then you would need to change your code to this:
<?php
print "<h3>Hi there, " . $_POST['userName'] . "!</h3>";
?>
