D.I.C Regular Joined: 30 Dec, 2005 Posts: 267 Thanked: 1 times Dream Kudos: 365 My Contributions	I got the code to post data from w3schools. that being: CODE <form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get"> Username: <input type="text" name="user"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> and I changed the "html_form_action.asp" to a html page, but the data wasn't posted to the other page. Any help?

You can reference post data in php like this: CODE <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?> That will take the form field on the prior page called "name" and output it.
