I'm porting some php cgi scripts from our old web server to a new one. In know zip about php and didn't create these. I'm finding that php scripts on the new server aren't getting form variables passed into them.
I built 4.3.4 straight, no options, just configure/make/make install. The system is built calling php as a #! line, e.g. #!/usr/local/bin/php <? ... code ... ?> The scripts call each other with arguments like abc.cgi?act=4&pass=def What I find is that when I print out the passed variables, e.g. print ("$act"); I get nothing, as if the script is not parsing the passed variables at all. The system works fine on the old server using 3.0.12, is there something I need to set in the new build for it to act properly as a cgi interpreter?
