PHP help

[Scorpo]

I'm trying to learn how to program in php, but I'm doing something wrong. I'm using a simple html form to obtain two string variables and pass them to a .php file that simply prints them ,but the .php file won't print them. I don't get an error message and some other text that was in the .php file but not in the <? ?> tags showed up. What am I doing wrong?

can you show me the code.

[Scorpo]

unfortunately, for security reasons, no. I cannot show you the code.

that makes it hard : page1 <input name="textfield" type="text"> page2: to display the textfield on the nextpage: $mytext = $_REQUEST[textfield]; print $mytext;
