I have a registration form and after submitting the values using "POST" as the form action:

I am unable to see the data on the next page that is calling the posted values using:

$username = $_POST['username'];

Now this should work!
I am not sure what is happening???
Any ideas why the data is not being posted?

I have tried this script and you know what the answer is:

Server side applications

Correct answer Westmatrix

Thank you all for help as I have managed to sort it out.
The idea was simple:
Register => Email => Activate => Login |

I have set up the Registration & Email on one page and the Activate and Email on another.
The rest is history.

Thank you once again for help.

Hi geschenk
There must be something I am doing wrong here:
I am not asking you to fix my pages but I think I am, if that makes any sense.

I have no idea why "this page" is doing this to me as all my other pages work!

Just a note on the form data:
If I use Get as the method it works, don;t ask me why but it does
Also If I remove all server behaviours it also works with POST or GET.

Yes I have updated the testget with relevant info such as:
<?php foreach($_POST as $key => $value) echo "$key => $value <br>";?>
OR
<?php foreach($_GET as $key => $value) echo "$key => $value <br>";?>
OR
Individual statements like before; yes with POST and GET changed.

NO IDEA?

well, if this does solve your problem, then better leave it like that ;-)

this will work:

<?php
if (!empty($_POST['username'])) {
echo "your user name is ".$_POST['username'];
}
else {
echo "No username has been selected!";
}
?>

Thanks, my form is attached, nothing actually gets POSTED!

how comes ? that form does provide a correct "POST" method as well as an "action", and the page defined in action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>" should usually be able to receive & check the form values properly -- I checked my code with a regular form and a regular follow-up page, and here it works

BTW, is it possible that the form (and possibly other related pages) have been done using some 3rd party extension ?
