The content of text.html is

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION=text.php>
Who is your favourite author?
<INPUT NAME="author" TYPE="TEXT">
<BR>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The content of text.php is

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php echo $author;
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>


When a name is entered and the submit button is clicked, it goes to the text.php and shows the following error.

Notice: Undefined variable: author in f:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Netproject\TestingSamples\text.php on line 5

PLEASE tell what to do about it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
