Read this: http://www.php.net//manual/en/security.registerglobals.php
and either turn on register_globals: ini_set ("register_globals", "1"); or better yet, start using the super global syntax: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php#language.variables.superglobals like so: $_POST['myvar'] -- Jim >>> Matt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/24/02 09:05AM >>> Hi. I am very new to PHP. I have both apache and mysql as well as php installed on my laptop. I thought PHP was functioning correctly because when I do a phpinfo() I get the appropriate diagnostic page. However in a couple of exercises designed to display variables populated from a form in one case, and in the other, a very simple page to just display the contents of a few of the built-in HTTP variables such as HTTP_REFERER, the variables aren't passing. The pages where the variable contents should display are empty. I've had a friend try the code on their server and they work fine so I know it's not my code which leads me to server configuration. Any ideas? I"m really stumped.
