I'm on a server with php version 4.2.1 with register globals on. The main test has been can I access the variables in the script? Oddly enough, if I didn't use an array they are there for me. Turns out it's only when I'm trying to pass an array. Single variables works fine. I'm beginning to think it's a bug.
