How-to setup Form Action?

Can't get Form Action to work on my local machine e.g. <form action="index.php" method="POST">.
I also tried on a fresh Arch Linux install (in case there was a config problem).
How to setup. Do I need to download something?

Example:
This works fine one server, but not in my local:

Re: How-to setup Form Action?

<?php
echo "$mydropdown";
?>

Should probably be

<?php
echo $_REQUEST['mydropdown"'];
?>

Dont know why I didn't see it sooner. Your other host must have automatic variable assignment setup for get and post variables (ie register globals). which is bad bad bad...

Re: How-to setup Form Action?

It works. I am glad you found the solution.

If $_REQUEST is required, how do you apply it in the drop-down-menu topic? I have posted a question.
