Hello,

I'm starting a new php project and this time php make me sick; I've put a

<form method= "post" action= "login.php">

     <input type= "text" name= "nickname_us"/>

</form>

and in login.php

echo " before the condition ";

echo "/nickname: ";

echo $_POST['nickname_us'];

if($_POST['nickname_us'] != NULL)

{

     echo " /the variable contain something ";

}

and when I arrive on my login.php page wich will control if the nickname_us exists, the page display nothing(just echo messages before the condition).
I've tried to display some messages to check if the $_POST contain something but $_POST display nothing...
I've deleted all other conditions just to look at the $_POST and it's empty... I don't anderstand; it always work but now it doesn't work...
Have you got an idea?

it works fine on my side...

Yes, it should be working on my side too! Perhaps is it just bad energies???:laugh:
And I've tried it on IE7 and on my portable firefox on windows; it doesn't work too... I really don't know what's the problem. I'll wait monday to look again at my code; it could be better...
Thank you, "exile", for testing!

It should need a value to be anything - you declared the post variable but it equals nothing

<input type= "text" name= "nickname_us" value="true"/> 

You can always use this to test for post data PHP: var_dump - Manual

So, thanks for your suggest, I'm trying to restart my project.
For the moment that's ok.
My problems are always strange.

yes, I've found the error: it's because my browser doesn't let me use the post methode, it returns all informations in get methode. anyone knows how to force it to use post methode?

So many posts just to find the so simple mistake; in my form I've written <form methode ...> like we spell it in french...
so stupid mistake...:rolleyes:
Thank you for your help. Now the subject can be closed.
