    I am also having an issue with this..... both of the forms work w/o error but when i run handle_form.php the variable values are blank. if i run form.html i have all the fields but when i click submit it does nothing. i checked like it says in the book for the proper capitalization of the variables, but my text editor would tell me if the $_REQUEST is wrong or not. every other script has worked up to this point and i'm not sure what is going on. my code for the form.html is as follows: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset-utf-8" /> <title>Simple HTML Form</title> <style type="text/css" title="text/css" media="all"> label { font-weight: bold; color: #300ACC; } </style> </head> <body> <!-- Script 2.1 - form.html --> <form action-"handle_form.php"method="post"> <fieldset><legend>Enter your information in the form below:</legend> <p><label>Name: <input type="text"name="name" size="20" maxlength="40" /></label></p> <p><label>Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size="40" maxlength="60" /></label></p> <p><label for="gender">Gender:</label><input type="radio" name=gender value="M" /> Male <input type="radio" name="gender"value="F" /> Female</p> <p><label>Age: <select name="age"> <option value="0-29">Under 30</option> <option value="30-60">Between 30 and 60</option> <option value="60+">Over 60</option> </select></label></p> <p><label>Comments: <textarea name="comments" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea></label></p> </fieldset> <p align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit My Information" /></p> </form> </body> </html> my code for the form_handle.php is: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset-utf-8" /> <title>Form Feedback</title> </head> <body> <?php # Script 2.2 - handle_form.php //Create a shorthand for the form data: $name = $_REQUEST['name']; $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $comments = $_REQUEST['comments']; /* Not used: $_REQUEST['age'] $_REQUEST['gender'] $_REQUEST['submit'] */ //Print the submitted information: echo "<p>Thank you, <b>$name</b>, for the following comments:<br /> <tt>$comments</tt></p> <p>We will reply to you at <i>$email</i>.</p>\n"; ?> </body> </html>
