Form Problem

[Wild_Man12]

I have a problem with forms all of a sudden. Basically what happends is I set up a form with a submit button to reload the current page with different variables the user has filled in now set. Well now the submit button does not do anything. Its crazy. Ill type in my test php file to give you an example below...

test.php
<?php
if ($go) {
print "hellow world";
}
?>
<form method=POST action=test.php>
<input type="submit" name="go" value="go">
</form>

that is it... and basically it never gets inside the if statement because for some odd reason go never gets set to "go". I am not sure if it is something I am overlooking or something set on the server that is causing the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Oh and I tried printing out all the $HTTP_POST_VARS and I get nothing. Thanks for the help.

Did you recently upgrade PHP?

If so, the default setting is for register_globals=off.
Try this...

<?php
//test.php
if ($_POST['go']) {
  print "hello world";
}
?>
<form method="POST" action="text.php">
  <input type="submit" name="go" value="go">
</form>

If it works, then you have register_globals turned off.
You will need to use the super-globals to access your passed variables
$_SERVER,$POST,$GET,$COOKIE,$SESSION.
