Version 4.1's "php.ini-recommended" file defaults to:
register_globals = Off
...an important change from earlier versions as I recall. This will
prevent variables from being auto-created. Use $_POST['varname'] or
$HTTP_POST_VARS['varname'], or change that value to "On" and restart
your server.
The given reason for this change was that by simply using $varname you
cannot be sure the user didn't append a GET variable to the URL,
possibly overriding your POST variable's value, or creating a value for
an internally created variable name.
