Variables coming from forms

Hi. I have posted this thread before but didn't come to a solution so I try again. I've installed Apache 2.0 and PHP 4.2.3 (both with the msi installers) on Windows 2000 Pro. The problem I have is that I get the message Notice: Undefined variable: var_name in .... every time I pass a new variable into another page whether this happens using the URL or a form or even sessions. The strange thing is that if I run phpinfo() in the same page (where the variable is considered to be undefined) I see that my variables do exist in the variables section of phpinfo. For example. If I use a form to pass a variable in a php file like this: <form method="get" action="var.php"> <input type="text" name="var" size="20" value="test"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> and have the var.php like this: <?php print("$var"); phpinfo(); ?> I'll get the message: Notice: Undefined variable: var in C:\Progr.\htdocs\var.php on line 2 while I'll also get a line like this in the variables section of phpinfo(): Variable Value _GET["var"] the value I typed before I think this is really strange. Has anyone something to suggest? Thanx in advance!! Achilles
