_POST not passing data correctly?

[btk_]

Problem with $_POST

running on,
redhat linux 8
Apache/2.0.40
PHP 4.2.2

HTML:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="test.php">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="TEST" VALUE="THIS IS A TEST">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT">
</FORM>

PHP:
<?php
print $_POST['TEST'];
?>

result:
THIS IS A TESTTEST=THIS IS A TEST

anybody know why $_POST['TEST'] doesn't equal THIS IS A TEST?

guessing here...

I dont use "print" - i think the norm is to use echo.

Try doing echo $test; and see what it outputs. If it says undefined variable, then your globals are off, so try doing yours again (but with echo instead of print) and see what it comes up with - might work, but tell me if no and i'll have a more detailed look...

I tried echo but I still get the same results.

I have also tried turning register globals on and off in php.ini.

Found the problem.

it was having a few of the configuration options in httpd.conf out of order (compared to the default http.conf that shipped with redhat)

I re-ordered everything like the default config, and it works fine.
