Apache, form method get

[Chimps]

I have 2 pages:
[page1.html]
...
<form action="page2.php" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="user">
</form>
...

[page2.php]
...
<?php
print "Name is $user";
?>
...

for some reason, I get an error saying that the variable $user is not declared.

Do I need to change the configuration file in Apache to handle GET and POST? If not, then how do I fix this?

Thanks.

maybe you do not have register_globals set to on.

Try $_GET['user'] or $HTTP_GET_VARS['user'] if PHP < 4.1
