form not working..plz help!

Hi,

I was trying to make a single text input form . Index.php would take a search query and pass it to welcome.php.
The code of two files are as follows:INDEX.PHP

<body><div>
<form action="welcome.php">
!nfo <input type="text" size="80" maxlength="200" name="query"><br />
<input style="margin-top:15px; padding:5px 12px 5px 12px" type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
<input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1"/>
</form></div></body>

WELCOME.PHP

<form action="welcome.php">
<input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1"/>
!nfo<input type="text" size="80" maxlength="2048" name="query"><br />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="Spreaz" class="relay">
</form>
<?php
$query = $_REQUEST["query"];
if (array_key_exists('_submit_check', $_REQUEST)) {
/* ... do something with the form parameters ... */
}
if (!isset($_REQUEST['submit'])) { // if page is not submitted to itself echo the form
?>
<?php
} else {
echo "Finding Query   ".htmlentities($_REQUEST['query']);
} ?>

Now the first Issue is with Index.php. When I enter a query and press enter Key , it goes to the welcome.php page but without any query only in MSIE. It works with mouse click.
Secondly when I enter a query in welcome.php, it doesn't return any results(doesn't prints the message of query."Finding Query"), neither in FF or MSIE.

Please help.

why do you have the form twice?
your form is missing a critical parameter "METHED" i suggest methed "POST"
Hides data
$_REQUEST is an ambiguous PHP super array use $_post and $_Get where needed

also you don't need to evaluate for submit being set

<body><div>
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
!nfo <input type="text" size="80" maxlength="200" name="query"><br />
<input style="margin-top:15px; padding:5px 12px 5px 12px" type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
<input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1"/>
</form></div></body>

In above i have added method=post

On second page (welcome.php) use this on the top

$query=$_POST['query'];

then you can check if this value is coming by just typing

echo $query; //this will print the result.
