It's part of an upload script. two.php uploads the file, and will (say) echo the content of the "user" input. The problem is that I don't know how to do that. What is the variable name for the content of the text input?

Replies Tony327 Posted at 1:24 pm on June 7, 2008 You're welcome. I'm glad I could help! Mediocre Posted at 1:08 pm on June 7, 2008 That worked, thanks. Tony327 Posted at 12:43 pm on June 7, 2008 Maybe this could be what you need? <?php echo $_POST["user"]; ?> Once the form is submitted using the post method (as your form is set to do), PHP can retrieve the form data. Check out http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_post.asp for more information... I hope I'm helpful. All 3 previous replies displayed.
