HTML Form values not accessible

[Anon]

Environment :
Apache 1.3.12
PHP 4.0.1pl2
NT4 sp5
IE4

Form:
<input type="text" name="name">

PHP:
FAILING: echo "<p>Name=", $name;
WORKING: echo "<p>Name=", $HTTP_POST_VARS[name];

Why ? Any help greatly appreciated.

$HTTP_GET_VARS[] maybe?

Check your PHP.INI file (if possible) and the manual under "Configuration". These are the two relevant INI entries:

register_globals= On | Off
track_vars= On | Off

If register_globals if off, but track_vars is on, then PHP would behave as you've seen.

Manual entry is here: <http://www.php.net/manual/configuration.php>
