Problems with form+PHP

Anon

Hi,
I've written a script in PHP wich is called through an HTML form on an Apache Server.
It's working fine in Windows 2000, but when I run the same script in Linux, the variables are blank in PHP script. On the example below, it doesn't matter what I type in nome, it is always blank. Please help me with that!!!! Thanks.
Ex.
<body><form method="post">
<input type="text" name="nome" value="">
<input type="submit" name="ok" value="ok">
<?php
if ($nome == "") { echo "Escreva seu nome"; }
else { echo "Bom dia $nome";}
?></form></body>

I'm guessing that you're using the variables $name and $ok in your script instead of their proper names $POST['name'] and $POST['ok'].

Having $name automatically have the value of the 'name' field in the form is considered a Bad Thing these days, and PHP is supporting it less and less (and may stop altogether).

Obviously, the Windows 2000 implementation you're using still uses the old behaviour, and the Linux box the new one.
