    I'm now starting to study php and testing some basic codes.

    I do have a problem with this simple "GET" code

    I have this php files

    tutorial1.php

    with code

    <?php

$fname = "Lebron";
$lname = "james";
$address = "Los Angeles";
$job = "Player";

?>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>


<form name="form1" action="GET" action="processed.php">


First Name: <input name="fname" type="text" value="<?php echo $fname; ?>" /><br />
Last Name: <input name="fname" type="text" value="<?php echo $lname; ?>" /><br />
Address: <input name="fname" type="text" value="<?php echo $address; ?>" /><br />
Job: <input name="fname" type="text" value="<?php echo $job; ?>" /><br /><br />

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Pass The Code" />

</form>


</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):

    Once I click the submit button it should be redirected to

    processed.php and pass all the values that I'm getting from tutorial1.php but the problem is it seemed like I do not redirected to processed.php.

    Here's the code of

    processed.php 
    

<?php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') 
{

}
else
{
die("Die now Bitch");
}

if(isset($_GET["Submit"]))
{
	$fname = $_GET["fname"];
	$lname = $_GET["lname"];
	$address = $_GET["address"];
	$job = $_GET["job"];
}



?>

    on line 20 of tutorial1.php
    action="GET" (action="" is the target file) you want method="GET"

    so replace line 20 with
    <form name="form1" action="processed.php" method="get">
    PHP:
    and also all the input fields have the name="fname"

    so change the lines 23-26 with :
    First Name: <input name="fname" type="text" value="<?php echo $fname; ?>" /><br />
Last Name: <input name="lname" type="text" value="<?php echo $lname; ?>" /><br />
Address: <input name="address" type="text" value="<?php echo $address; ?>" /><br />
Job: <input name="job" type="text" value="<?php echo $job; ?>" /><br /><br />
    PHP:
    that should do it!

    The php site has a HUGE reference for coding with examples. Comes in very handy.. its a my first check before google for coding issues.
