Re: variables not being passed

Thanks to everyone who sent messages either via the list of directly. Nicolay's suggestion (below) of putting echo $HTTP_POST_VARS["username"] did echo the variable, but surely PHP should see the variables anyway? All of my other apps which have worked before in PHP3 don't work now, so this is either a bug or something that I have done wrong (quite likely!). PHP was working a day or so ago, and I haven't done anything since that I can think of to break it. Any ideas?
