php and apache problem
I'm trying to set up the apache server with php as a module so that i can test scripts. I don't want to host anything. When i create a simple html and php file to work together it doesn't eg
index.html
<html><body>
<form method = 'post' action = ./name.php>
<input type = 'text' name = 'fname'>
<input type = 'submit' value = 'submit'>
</form</body></html>
name.php
<?php
$test = 'test';
print $fname;
print $test;
?>
when i view this using http:\\localhost
i see index.html enter a name hity submit, but then all it shows is the value in $test, not in $fname?
any ideas, i'm assuming it must be how i installed apache and php, but i thought i followed everything.
i'm using win 98se, apache1.3.27 and php4.3.1
when apache console opens it gives no errors and says php is running.

You cannot use globals for posted variables if register_globals is off, I recommend you leave it that way (it is off by default)
Try
PHP Code:
$_POST['fname']
Instead of just $fname

Cheers, works fine now, just read the bit in php.ini about the register_globals being off, think i'll take yours and there advice and leave it off, figure best to try and learn it the right way 
Cheers
