Re: Input Form ? to use ODBC_CONNECT with parms. -- WEB400

Does this look like something that should work, when I run it I am getting
userid not found on system.

html>

<head>

<title>Input Form</title>

</head>

<body>

<form action=*"rmtboxinfo1.php"* method=*"post"*>

Server : <input type=*"text"* name=*"server"* value=*""*></input>

Login : <input type=*"text"* name=*"login"* size=*"10"* maxlength=*"10"*/>

Password : <input type=*"text"* name=*"password"* size=*"10"* maxlength=*
"10"*/>

<input type=*"submit"* name=*"sumbit"* value=*"Submit me!"*></input>

</form>

</body>

Agreed. If you know the request method is GET or POST, then using the
specific functions is better, but that is not always the case.

With respect, I'd also recommend against $_REQUEST since it merges $_GET,
$_POST AND $_COOKIE and so you cannot predict where the data is coming
from. Additionally, the priority of which of those variables are merged
can be changed configurably and as such the source of that data can be
unpredictable. Sticking with $_GET or $_POST will make your life happier
in the long run.

Note the $_REQUEST function explained on the POST page. That works for
both GET and POST.

The following link explains it better then I could.

...or you can use the POST method.

I prefer to use POST.

Ok, I am trying to find a way to desing an INPUT form .PHP to pass parms

to

my other coded .PHP script. Does anyone have a working example of

something

like this. I have a working backend .php hard coded with the values that
works with no problem(s). Now I am trying to get it where I can

front-end

with a form and pass the parms to the script.

Here is my form:

html>

<head>

<title>TEST</title>

<body>

<form action="rmtboxinfo1.php" method="get">

Server :<input type="text" name="server" value=""></input>

Login :<input type="text" name="login" size=10 maxlength=10
value=""></input>

Password :<input type="text" name="password" size=10 maxlength=10
value=""></input>

<input type="submit" name="sumbit" value="Submit me!"></input>

</form>

</body>
