Re: PLEASE HELP - Very odd problem

You are missing the semi-colon after $_GET['newpoet']

To find problems like this, turn on diagnostics by adding this to the start
of your php files:
<?
ini_set("display_errors","1");
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
?>

Big suggestion: consider using a debug environment - life will be much more
pleasant. It will take several days to set up, but I think you will find it
is well worth it. After looking at several, I use Eclipse with XDebug:

I am new to PHP and I am having a very odd problem. Could some PHP
guru please help.

I am passing some variables from one page to the next, and in the
starting page, I have:

<div id="navigation" align="center">
<form NAME="addnewpoetpoemform" METHOD="GET"
ACTION="addpoetpoem.php">
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td width="20%">Poet Name:</td>
<td width="80%"><input TYPE="text" NAME="newpoet" SIZE="30"
MAXLENGTH="30"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20%">Poem Name:</td>
<td width="80%"><input TYPE="text" NAME="newpoem" SIZE="30"
MAXLENGTH="30"><$
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><input TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Add Poet and
Poem"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

When the receiving page opens I can see, in the URL text box the
values that have been passed in.
However, I am unable to echo these values. If I have:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<?php
// import_request_variables(gP,"");
$recdpoet=$_GET['newpoet']
$recdpoem=$_GET['newpoem'];
if(isset($recdpoet) and strlen($recdpoet) > 0)
echo $recdpoet;
?>
</td>
</tr>

The page opens completely blank. What might be
going wrong? I have tried uncommenting the above line, but it does not
work.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
