Accessing form values in a php page

[gnikhil]

I have a simple html form which inputs some data .This has a submit button which submits things to a php page.
I am not able to access the form values in the php page.
I am using Microsoft IIS Server 4 and php version 4

You must give a name to all elements from the form.Like:
input type=text name="firstInput"
the from php
$firstText=$HTTP_GET_VARS['firstInput'];
if the form was submited with the POST method (method=post in form theclaration tag)
the will be
$firstText=$HTTP_POST_VARS['firstInput'];
if the trackvars value is set to "on" in php.ini then you will have a variable $firstInput with the value already declared.(Not recomended to use this).
