I have just installed php 5.0.1 and have installed many php's in the past, on Win2000 with Xitami, upto 4.3.7
I am using the suggested INI file, with mysql extension set, renamed to php.ini, in the C:\PHP directory as suggested. I restarted my web server, even rebooted. 1) phpinfo.php shows a plaintext info dump. 2) <form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" gives this error --- HTTP 404 - File not found. It worked fine with php 4.3.7 3) when I point it explicitly, my form submits won't work i.e. $_POST['submit']. No web server error logged. 4) a simple test like URL/test.php?x=zzz produces no $_GET['x'] value H-E-L P !! The PHP manual says nothing about having to 'turn-on' these predefined variables. It says --- This is a 'superglobal', or automatic global, variable. This simply means that it is available in all scopes throughout a script. You don't need to do a global $_GET; to access it within functions or methods, as you do with $HTTP_GET_VARS. Zardo
