I'm having trouble with this script

[stomlin]

I have a script that works on a Windows NT server. However, when I move the same script with no changes to a Linux server, the form doesn't work.

I know very little about Linux, can you look at this script and tell me what's going on?

<?

$adminaddress = "[e-mail]";
$siteaddress ="http://www.websitehere.com";
$sitename = "Site Name";
$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");

if ($REMOTE_ADDR == "") $ip = "no ip";
else $ip = getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

if ($action != ""):
mail("$adminaddress","Contact Form Information",
"A visitor at $sitename has left the following contact information\n

Name: $fname
Last Name: $lname
E-mail: $email
Company Name: $legalname
Program Execution: $billname
Office Number: $taxid
Wireless Phone Number: $bname
Wireless Phone Carrier: $bphone
Contact Preference: $bcity
Project Details: $comments

Logged Info :

Using: $HTTP_USER_AGENT
Hostname: $ip
IP address: $REMOTE_ADDR
Date/Time: $date", "FROM:$adminaddress");

mail("$email","Thank You for visiting $sitename",
"Hi $fname,\n
Thank you for your interest in $sitename! We will be in contact with you shortly.\n
Cheers,
$sitename
$siteaddress","FROM:$adminaddress");

$sendresult = "Thank you for applying. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.";
$send_answer = "answer=";
$send_answer .= rawurlencode($sendresult);
echo "$send_answer";

endif;
?>

sounds like a register_globals problem to me

new versions of php havev this disables, so you will need to yse $POST['varname']/ $GET['varname'] / $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to access your variables from the posting page...

[stomlin]

Where exactly does the: $_POST['varname']/ section go?

[bastien]

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "") $ip = "no ip"; 
else $ip = getHostByAddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); 
if ($_POST['action'] != ""): 
mail("{$_POST['adminaddress']}","Contact Form Information", 
"A visitor at {$_POST['sitename']} has left the following contact information\n 

Name: {$_POST['fname']} 
Last Name: {$_POST['lname']}
E-mail: {$_POST['email']} 
Company Name: {$_POST['legalname']} 
Program Execution: {$_POST['billname']} 
Office Number: {$_POST['taxid']} 
Wireless Phone Number: {$_POST['bname']} 
Wireless Phone Carrier: {$_POST['bphone']} 
Contact Preference: {$_POST['bcity']} 
Project Details: {$_POST['comments']} 
...

[stomlin]

on the lower section, I put this:

Logged Info :

Using: {$POST['HTTP_USER_AGENT']}
Hostname: {$POST['ip']}
IP address: {$POST['REMOTE_ADDR']}
Date/Time: {$POST['date']}, "FROM:{$_POST['adminaddress']};

mail({$POST['email']},"Thank You for visiting "{$POST['sitename']}",
"Hi {$POST['fname']},\n
Thank you for your interest in {$POST['sitename']}! We will be in contact with you shortly.\n
Cheers,
{$POST['sitename']}
{$POST['siteaddress']}","FROM:{$_POST['adminaddress']};

{$POST['sendresult']} = "Thank you for applying. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.";
{$POST['send_answer']}$send_answer = "answer=";
{$POST['send_answer']}$send_answer .= rawurlencode({$POST['sendresult']};
echo "{$_POST['sen_answer']}";

and it still isn't working....
