Why some servers accepts both $_POST['userName'] and $userName, and some servers accepts only $userName?

How can I change the second server like the first one?

Thank You

In the first case, where it accepts $_POST['userName'] and $userName, the Register globals is on.

The second case is backwards, it only accepts $_POST['userName']. In this case, Register globals is off.

You want to avoid (at any cost) turning on the register globals, because people can inject malicious code into your scripts. If you feel as though you must turn on Register Globals, then all I will say is it is a setting in the php.ini file on the server and you should be able to peruse the php manual and find info on how to do it... That's all I am going to say, because it is a bad idea to turn it on.

Thank You TheDefender,

I did check on that though. BOTH GLOBALS ARE ON
In the second case it is not backwards, it only accepts $userName.

Thank you again

Then it's probably an older version of PHP that didn't have the $_POST superglobal (or any of the other corresponding superglobals)
On the server where only $userName works, try using $HTTP_POST_VARS["userName"]

If you are using it within a function, make sure to do a "global $HTTP_POST_VARS;" first

Hope this helps you out
