Problem to retrieve input string value

[adelinewss]

I installed php 4.2.3 and apache 1.3.26 on windows 98. It failed to get the input string value from the form. I have a login form which have two input field called login and password. When I tried to retrieve it using $login and $password, not thing returned. Is it because of the version of windows 98? Previously I had problem to execute php page and after that I found out that it is actually the problem with version of windows 98. So I suspect that it is the same problem but I am not sure how to fix it. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You have to edit the php.ini file:-
register_globals = On

unless you need it, try to keep register_globals off.
to acces your variables, use

$POST['login'] and $POST['password'] if they're coming from a form, and $GET['login'] or $GET['password'] if they're coming from the query string (URL)
