Re: Simple form not passing variables, Why??

Within your configurations, is register_globals on? I try this code and it works just fine. Although if register_globals setting in php.ini is off it will not, try replacing : echo ($name); with print $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"]; And see what happens. If you want $name type variables to register as global, then turn the setting to on. Strangly, iirc, this should be on by default though. The fact that you have name=Bob in url would suggest this to be the "problem".
