Your first consideration is that $HTTP_POST_VARS is probably no longer defined 
in your PHP version
(you didn't state what the old version was).  The new superglobal to use is 
$_POST which is more
concise.  If you want to minimize your code rewrite and search-replace is not 
desired, you can do
something like:

$HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;

at the top of your program before you use any of the variables.

It is also sometimes helpful to print out a diagnostic with a display of the 
form variables coming
in.  I normally do this with:

printf("<fieldset><pre>%s</pre></fieldset>\n", print_r($_POST, true));

Since it is on one line, it is easily commented out when desired.  You can 
replace $_POST with
another variable you care to test.  The fieldset tags draw a box around the 
info and the pre tags
keep the spacing and newlines in the display with a monospace font.  The 
print_r() function will
use spaces and newlines so it is important to preserve this.  The second 
argument returns the
output through the function name so it can be inserted into the %s in the 
printf() format
argument.

Hopefully, this will take care of one source of problems for you.
