If the PHP configuration doesn't have "register_globals" turned on in the php.ini file, you will be able to access the form variables via the _POST array like this: $_POST["my_form_var"] Of course, substitute my_form_var with the correct variable from the form that you are submitting. If the server does have register_globals turned on you can access the variables just as they are named in the form. For example, if you have a text input field named "lastname", you can access the value in that text box using the variable $lastname.
