[Resolved] [Resolved] register_globals = On

alsehendo

I got apache installed and put php.ini in the c:\windows directory.

All is well but I cant use form varibles from HTML. I read some were to do it the old way (after 4.2 PHP) you had to change register_globals = On, (default nis OFF), In the php.ini file. I did this but it still dose not work. Example below:

HTML FILE:
<HTML>
<TITLE>
</TITLE>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="do_calc2.php">
How mant bags would you like? <INPUT type="text" name="q">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

PHP File
<?php
echo "quanty = ".$q;
?>

After entering 2 for q in the form
OUPUT From BROWSER
quanty =

I even tried below and still got the same output. Which from what I understand dose not require register_globals = On

<?php
import_request_variables(q, "formval_");
echo "quanty = .$formval_q;
?>

alsehendo

Well hash table acces dose work

<?php
$q_value = $HTTP_GET_VARS['q'];
echo "The number of bags you ordered is $q_value";
?>

OUTPUT after enter 5 in form
The number of bags you ordered is 5

Not just
The number of bags you ordered is
Like in prior post

Dose php look at the php.ini file every time it is executed by apache?

I don't realy get how it influences how PHP runs. It''s in the C:\windows directory of XP. I don't think it is being used? Anyway to tell?

I am running PHP as a module in appache 2.0.
