Problem after installing PHP 4.2.1

[Anon]

Hi,

I have installed PHP 4.2.1 as I have to work with PDF & FDF. But after installation my earlier project work (PHP 4.0) which were working fine earlier stopped working. The problem was now the form fields were not being posted so nothing could be displayed or saved to database. Please can anyone help me to come out of this problem.

use $POST instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS and $GET instead of $HTTP_GET_VARS.

maybe that was the problem.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but my problem is still there. I am just trying a demo code as given below:

<?
if (isset($smt))
{
echo "1: ". $email ."<br>";
echo "1: ". $_POST['email'] ."<br>";
}
?>
<FORM method="get" name="eligible" action="eligible.php">
E-mail Address: <INPUT maxLength=35 name=email value="[e-mail]">
<INPUT name=smt type=submit value="Check Eligibility">
</form>

Even this is not working while as soon as I install older version it starts working.

echo "1: ". $_POST['email'] ."<br>";
?>
<FORM method="get" name="eligible" action="eligible.php">
E-mail Address: <INPUT maxLength=35 name=email value="[e-mail]">
<INPUT name=smt type=submit value="Check Eligibility">
</form>

Sorry,

I got the mistake now it is working.
It is like:

<?
echo "1: ". $GET['email'] ."<br>";
print "1: ". $GET['email'] ."<br>";
print "1: ". $_REQUEST['email'] ."<br>";
?>
<FORM method="get" name="eligible" action="eligible.php">
E-mail Address: <INPUT maxLength=35 name=email value="[e-mail]">
<INPUT name=smt type=submit value="Check Eligibility">
</form>

yap it depends on the method you send the form. if it is get use $GET and if it is post use $POST.
