Form Variables not passing

[pug]

I have check both pages.

Login.php and Member.php

They are using the same name. I am echoing the $username and $password to make sure they are getting passed. Nothing is displaying. I also have an If testing if one is blank.

Is there any reason why form variables won't pass? I have checked the variable names 1000 times

Have you checked this page? (Can't tell from your post.)

[pug]

Here is the form

<form method="post" action="member.php">
  <table align=center>
   <tr>
     <td>Username:</td>
     <td><input type="text" name="username"></td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td>Password:</td>
     <td><input type="password" name="passwd"></td></tr>
   <tr>
     <td colspan=2 align=center>
     <input type=submit value="Log in"></td></tr>
 </table></form>

Here is the member.php that is trying to access it

<?
// include function files for this application
require_once("include_fns.php"); 
session_start();

if($username == "")
	echo "Nothing in username";

if ($username && $passwd)
// they have just tried logging in
{
    if (login($username, $passwd))
    {
      // if they are in the database register the user id
      $valid_user = $user;
      session_register("valid_user");
    }  

    else
    {
      // unsuccessful login
      do_html_header("Problem:");
      echo "You could not be logged in. 
            You must be logged in to view this page.";
      do_html_url("login.php", "Login");
      do_html_footer();
      exit;
    }      

}

do_html_header("Home");
check_valid_user();

// give menu of options
//display_user_menu();

do_html_footer();

?>

Looks like you are trying to use Globals. Are you sure it is turned on in your php.ini file?

Try using $POST['username'] and $POST['passwd'] in your member.php file and see if that works.

Thanks that really helped

How do you turn on globals just for reference
