Getting Form Variables

[Anon]

For some reason HTTP_GET_VARS and HTTP_POST_VARS is not returning anything on my server (Apache/php3.0). I can get the individual form elements using their names, i.e. $email_address, but $HTTP_POST_VARS['email_address'] does not contain anything.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Try just using the variable name like if the name is blah $blah

I think you have to set your $HTTP_POST_VARS and GET_VARS to global in your php.ini file

To see most of the environment variables, browser variables, etc.

create a file with this text in it:

---

<?

phpinfo();

?>

and then run it thru your web server. You'll see the correct names of just about EVERY environment parameter!

I found the answer was putting
<?php_track_vars?>
in the code. The php.ini was showing that track_vars was turned on, but this was still the only way I could get HTTP_POST_VARS to populate.
