very simple why?

very simple:
form:

<form method=post action=test02.php>
<input type=text name=test>
<input type=submit>
</form>

test02.php has this:

<?
echo $test;
?>

when i try it nothing shows up in test02.php

in the php.ini says
"track_vars is on be default"

on FreeSBD with apache 1.3.27 and php 4.2.3

echo $_POST['test'];

it doesn't work. and i didn't expected it to work. register_globals is off...

what next?

[cgraz]

if register globals is off (which it is by default), that means you can't call the form variables $var_name, you have to use $_POST['var_name']

If register globals were to be on, then you could simply use $var_name.

$_POST['variableName']; will work whether or not register_globals is OFF.
