Works fine here. Note that you are missing a closing " in your
if($Submit) line. Check your code for obvious typos. Turn up your
error_reporting level to E_ALL and check phpinfo() to make sure
register_globals is really on and that you are editing the correct php.ini
file. phpinfo() will tell you where PHP looks for php.ini.
