Naif, I think your problem is related to register_globals. The authors of the book probably based their scripts on a version of PHP that had that option turned on by default, but as 4.2.0, it's been turned off as it is usually considered a security risk. So, either use the superglobal arrays (like $_POST) to access your HTML form variables or turn register_globals on in your php.ini file.
