Boh. Mi sono fatto uno script (senza jQuery) e ottengo pannolino 0+.

Codice PHP:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="test9046b.php" method="get">
 <input type="text" name="regalo" />
 <br/>
 <input type="submit" value="Invia" /> 
</form>
</body>
</html> 
test9046b.php
Codice PHP:

<?php 
include_once('classDB.inc');
$link = DB::connect();
mysqli_set_charset($link,"utf8");
$regalo = $_GET['regalo'];
print " $regalo";
 ?>
