PHP 4.2.1

[Anon]

I am running Redhat linux 7.2 with apache 1.3.20. I had created forms to query the database and return the appropriate rows. This worked fine with the default version of PHP that came with redhat and MySql. I upgraded to 4.2.1 to use wth PostgreSQL and now the it doesnt read my forms posted data for Mysql or Postgresql. Any Ideas?

The current defalut build/install of PHP has register globals turned off. So if you have a form with a entry field named email, you can't access it as $email in a fresh build of PHP 4.2.1. You'd have to access $POST["email"], or $GET["email"].

Or you can change your php.ini file to allow the conversion of input data to local variables (this is a security risk).
