problem in getting the php variable

How do I retrieve a variable? I saw some examples and I'm not getting.

I tried taking the variable $name, and also with the echo and I could not.

Displays only ERROR

PHP

<?php

if ($_GET['mode']=="load") {

$name = "anna";

//echo "ok";

}

?>

This forum isn't the best place to ask questions about PHP. You might want to find a beginner's tutorial, or ask on other programming-specific sites like StackOverflow.

I managed to get the variable normally.

Now, when I'm using the database it does not enter the error.

Can anyone help me?

PHP

if($_GET['mode']=="login") {

    $matricula = $_GET['matricula'];

    $resultado = pesquisarJogador($matricula);

    while ($linha = mysql_fetch_array($resultado)) {

           $nome = $linha['nome'];

           if(!empty(nome)){

               echo "ok";

           }

    }

}

paulaAnna, see my other post. It would be best to ask somewhere else.
