Check your php.ini for this setting : 'register_globals'. With your new installation, it is set to off, causing $_POST['name'] (the original variable!) not to be registered to $name. With register_globals set to on, you can use your first script.
I want to warn you though, PHP depricates the use of register_globals = On, so it would be recommendable to use your modified script and keep coding using $_POST, $_GET and these kind of global variables. -- [Win2000 | Apache/1.3.23] [PHP/4.2.3 | MySQL/3.23.53] Ivo Fokkema PHP & MySQL programmer Leiden University Medical Centre Netherlands -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
