I'm no sysadmin- and the one that takes care of our server recently updated to 4.2.1 -- all my scripts that post variables to other scripts dont work anymore! They simply send nothing for each variable posted. The script that handles these variables works, but outputs them as " "- eachone a null character. The mail function also seems to be not working- I checked php.ini to see if global variables were set to "on", and they were. I have no idea what else to check- any suggestions? Everything else in the new install seems to work fine- for example phpinfo(); works etc.
