Problem: Post variable contains variable name

[WeZzy]

G'day,

I have a strange problem with PHP v4.2.2.. When I post a form to another php page, like this:

test.php:
<form name="test" action="dotest.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="test">

<input type="submit">

</form>

dotest.php:
<?php

echo $test;

?>

On the dotest.php page the $test variable contains the variable name. It's like the GET information gets inserted into the variable value..

So when entering the value "test" in the textfield on the test.php page my $test variable value in dotest.php is: "testtest=test". Like mentioned before, it's like the get information is included in it.

Anyone any idea how to solve this??

Thanks in advance,

WeZzy

<?php

echo $_POST['test'];

?>

newer versions of php require $POST and $GET

I enabled register_globals so this should work..

However, I found a solution.. When using two text fields the problem is gone!! Beats me why, but heck it works. I inserted an hidden text field and everything works fine.

P.S. echo $_POST['test']; gives the same garbled result as $test
