Re: Trouble Passing Variables On Test Server

Hi guys, I have installed a test sever from those guys are FirePages.com.au on my Windows XP Machine at home to test websites on http://localhost. The only problem is the forms are not passing on the variables. I have used the same scripts on a webserver and they work fine. Could anyone tell me what I should check so that these variables are passed thru? Has anybody come across this problem before?

The most likely reason is that PHP has more secure way of making form variables available since PHP 4.10. To use the old way i think you had to edit php.ini and set register_globals=On. Check this by having a page after a form with element name 'test' with this line echo $_POST['test']; because that is the new way.
