POSTING vars from HDML to PHP

[Anon]

am having difficulties POSTING variables to an PHP4 program. no variable values get to the PHP program. GET works fine. POST does not.

here is a sample call to the php program:

<NODISPLAY name="sendinput">
<ACTION type="accept" friend=TRUE task=go vars="state=$state" dest="hdml_php.php" method="POST"
POSTDATA="state&hotel&poststate">
</NODISPLAY>

but HTTP_POST_VARS['state'] is always empty...

pleaase let me know if you have any idea on how to make this work.

thanks a lot.
