PHP

Hi
I have set up php mysql and apache server by installing XAMPP on my pc which is windows xp sp2. And trying to get the following code run but i am not getting the variables through the post or get why, please help me.
Thanks in advance.

my code:
<body>
<H2>Search Results</H2>
<BR>
<FORM ACTION=“result.php” METHOD=“POST”>
Enter name, or part of the name, of the shops you wanted:
<BR>
<INPUT NAME = “name” TYPE = TEXT>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE= SUBMIT VALUE=“Search”>
</FORM>
</body>

php page code: result.php

<?
echo $_POST['name'];
?>

I tried every thing like $_REQUEST[‘name’] and http_Post_var
but nothing is working when i click on a submit, it displaying a blank page why? where is the problem; actually i want to use that passing variable from first page for some kind of validations in the current page but it’s not working. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I tried that one also but no use. and it’s allowing even short tags there was no problem with normal code i.e.,

<?
echo "Hello World";
?>

it works fine for the above code. but only the problem comes when need to pass using GET or POST of a <FORM>.

Are you sure your server allows short tags (<? ?>)?

try this instead:


<?php
echo $_POST['name'];
?>
