I'm completely new to PHP and I'm going through my Wrox PHP book. I'm learning about variables. Here's the code that I'm using and the error message I'm getting. Is there something wrong with my PHP configuration? If so, what do I have to change. I checked the forum for something similar but maybe subject is easy to solve for most. Thanks in advanced.

<html>
<form>
Please type your name here:<br />
<input type=text name=username><br><br>
<input type=submit value="Submit Data">
</form>
<br><br>
You typed:

<?php
echo($username);
?>

</html>


The error is:
Notice: Undefined variable: username in C:\home\httpd\html\wrox\variables.php on line 11

Instead of

echo($username);

try

echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['username'];

This has to do with register globals being turned off in the latest versions of PHP.
