Re: POST and GET variables don't work

Thanks to Oscar and Jennifer, it's working now. I did a bit of reading, and it seems it's not recommend to enable "register_globlas", why is that? Is there an array that contains both POST and GET variables or am I stuck to using two different ones?

Change this to register_globals = on (or "true", or "yes", either one should). If you dont want to do that, Try with $_GET['name'] or $_POST['name']. HTH. Oscar F.- Andres Olarte wrote:

I've just built PHP from source (4.2.3) on Red Hat Linux 7.2 with configure --with-java --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apx It's running with Apache 1.3.26 PHP work ok, even Java works, but if I try to pass variables from a form with either POST or GET, the variables don't get through. This is the code I'm using: index.html: ... <form action="php.php" method="post">

    Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
     <input type="submit">

</form> ... php.php: <?php echo "*"; echo $name; echo "*"; ?> The variable $name is always empty. I tried this same scripts on the RPM version installed with Mandrake 7.2 and it worked fine, so it shouldn't be the scripts. What could be wrong? Maybe I missed a ./configure option?
