Problem with posted form variables

[kennyr]

I've created an online questionnaire for work - the data is retrieved from textarea elements on the form using the $HTTP_POST_VARS array and updated to a MySQL database table. Database has been updated OK during testing on my own PC and also on previous online questionnaires apart from the most recent. On this particular occasion none of the data retrieved from the form has been updated to the database.

No idea what has caused this - is it possible that the PC's used by these participants could have some kind of security setting that has prevented the form variables from being accessed in the $HTTP_POSP_VARS array and subsequently updated to the db?

Thanks in advance

Or it could be that the PHP version installed not longer supports the $HTTP_POST_VARS array, as it is now the $_POST array.

PHP version on the server does support $HTTP_POST_VARS

Have you turned on error reporting all or check mysql errors?
