Form HTML / PHP Script

[sunreflex4]

Hi all. I have a formular in a HTML File(x.html) which will call a php script(go.php). Normally, the variable in the form (let us say age:
<form action="go.php">
Age:<input type="text" name="age"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send"/>
</form>
will be available in the go.php. But it doesn't find it,e.g. by using in go.php:
echo $age;

Does anybody know, where the problem is?

Thanks friends

Your form doesn't specifically mention the METHOD (get or post) but it should default to GET I think

Either way ossibly this is caused by having register_globals set OFF?

Can you access the variable the long way?
e.g. $HTTP_GET_VARS["age"]

well, thanx "notionlogic", it was bec. of the "register_globals". But they write there a comment that this should usually be off bec. of security aspects, how can I then send the variables of a form to a script in another way?
