just to say thanks, this thread has just solved a problem with an ASP
based system I am writing. Dreamweaver MX places form actions in as
script sources by default, and so does not always put full url in the
action field. As such all my post variables dissapeared, then I found
this form, hard coded the action page and it worked !

Following extraction helped me to solve the problem that, variables are
missing in the *.php after submition.
>>Hi there... The problem is actually that in PHP 4.2, Register Globals
is automatically defaulted to OFF. This means that variables that were
normally in the global space such as GET and POST variables are no
longer in the global space by default.
PHP Announcement: http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php
You can still force the old default behavior by changing the php.ini
file and set the value for register_globals to "On". This will allow
you to access the variables as they are named in the forms

By the way, I found this Information on expert-exchange.com
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/PHP/Q_20293768.html
My configuration:
PHP 4.2.3
Apache 2.0.43
Windows 2k

I think the problem is PHP4. Because I installed PHP on both Apache
and IIS of W2k. I got the same problem. The following are the test
program (test.php).
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
print_r($_POST);
print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
?>
<form action=test.php method=post>
<input type=text id=ftext value=123></input>
<br><br>
<input type=submit></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I always get empty Arrays. I never imagine that such simple function
have bugs in PHP, or I know to little about the PHP settings!
Who can HELP!!! My system cannot progress!!!

ok the solution to my problem is simple - I am using
AddOutputFilter PHP;INCLUDES .php
so the post variables are missing - thats because you need also to set
AddInputFilter PHP .php
otherwise Apache2 will not forward the POST vars!

Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Adding "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" to the conf file worked
for me.
PHP 4.2.3
APACHE 2.0.40
on WindowsXP
