[snip] I'm new to php coding but after some research am I right in saying that the latest release that I installed is PHP4.2.3 then there is a configuration setting called "register_globals". Up until 4.2 it has always been "ON". But not.. as of 4.2 it is "OFF". is this right? if so have the scripts I have been writing have been a waist of time? [/snip]
No, it has not been a waste of time. Register_globals has been turned "off" for security reasons. (If you had mentioned any of this during the previously vague e-mails the list may have been able to help more quickly.) Depending upon the form method (either GET or POST) your variables will be contained in an array called $_GET or $_POST, like $_GET["ToEmail"] or $_POST["ToName"]. If I could have seen the code for the form and the processing script I could have nailed this down for you. When you send a question to the list please be as specific as posible and include the code that is giving you trouble. Vague inquiries such as, "Anyone use this?" will largely go unanswered or will get flamed as yours did yesterday. Also, make sure that you reply to "all" so that your response goes to the list. That way if the individual who sent you information is no longer available it will allow someone else to pick up the thread. HTH!
