Apache/PHP Help

I used ePHP to install Apache/PHP/MySQL on my computer, so I dont know what settings it used for what.

I made a script (login.php) that lets you enter a name and password and will process it and print the name and password you entered (thingy.php). I know it works because I uploaded it to a site and tried it out. The thing is, it doesnt work on my server I set up on my computer to play around with PHP and stuff. When I type the name and password, thingy.php just gives me this:

Notice: Undefined variable: username in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\login_script\thingy.php on line 12
Your new name is

Notice: Undefined variable: password in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\login_script\thingy.php on line 13
Your new pass is

Does anyone know what I can change to make it work? It obviously is something to do with PHP defining variables from HTML forms, but I don't know where I would go to make it work.

I have the script here:

Did you get it solved? I'd try changing your error reporting in your php.ini file from

error_reporting = E_ALL

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

How are you callin gout the vars on "thingy.php" If globals are tunred off on your new setup which they are by default you need to use "$POST [username] and $POST [password]" instead of just "$username and $password".

Hope this helps.

Try posting some code here so we can see what you're doing.

Thanks wil, that helped. Well I figured that out a while ago, but that does help.

Is there a way that I can set "$POST [username] and $POST [password]" as variables? So instead of using:

print('Your New Username is'. $_POST['username'] .'<br>');
print('Your New Username is'. $_POST['password'] .'<br>');

I could do something like:

print('Your New Username is'. $username .'<br>');
print('Your New Password is'. $password .'<br>');

I tried just using:

$username = "$_POST['username']";

That didn't work out for me. (I also tried it without the quotes around $_POST['username'].

$username = $_POST['username'];

That should work. But remember that if you want to use $username inside a function you'll have to declare it as Global.
