Cannot retrieve form/session variables

[em1barns]

Hi all,

I have just installed Apache 1.3.28, Mysql 4.0.15 and PHP 4.3.3 on my windows 2k box.
I did it so that i could make use of phphelpdesk.
The thing is, this program looks great, except... i can't log in.

It doesn't make use of $POST, or $Session calls as in:

$status = $_POST[ 'status'];

but calls directly the form variables in the processing files, this way:

// CHECK IF THE USER LIKES TO AUTHENTICATE
if (isset($status))

.... but that doesn't work for me. Is there a way to change parameters somewhere so that implicit calls is allowed?

Thanks

in php.ini, turn on:
register_globals

otherwise you are obliged to use $_POST et al.
