Variables not working on new localhost setup.

Hello,

I am not new to PHP, but recently had to install it on my new G5 and PHP seems to work correctly, except it does not pass the variable on my localhost setup. I do not get an error, but the code works perfect on my ISPs server. I made a simple page with a variable and when I tell it to print the variable, it prints nothing.

I believe its just a setting in PHP, but which I do not know.

I appreciate the help in advance,

thanks,
Dmacman

WHat is the page's source?

Not the PHP code, the browser's page source?

I am actually just using a websites tutorial to try my server. The address for the actual code I used is:

http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/01/48/index2a_page5.html?tw=programming

[http://localhost/~woz/test/badwords_form.html] - is the form page.
[<html>
<head>
<title>Perv</title>

</head>

<p>You oughta be ashamed of yourself!

</body>
</html>]

[http://localhost/~woz/test/bad_words.php] - is the respose page.
[<html>
<head>
<title>Words</title>
</head>
<body>

_<form action="bad_words.php" method=post>

My name is:
<br> <input type="text" name="YourName">

<p> My favorite dirty word is:
<br><input type="text" name="FavoriteWord">
<p>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Enter My Data!">
</form>

</body>
</html> ]

I also created a simple script:

[<?
$test = "hello";
print $test;
?>]

And I get the same results. Nothing prints on my localhost, but works on the ISPs machine. That's why I believe it's a setting on my computer.

Thanks,
Dmacman
