POST problem with forms

[Anon]

When I try to send variables to a php file using POST with a form it doesn't work. GET works fine... register_globals is off.
What's wrong?

Try $_POST["<variable name>"]

Example :

<form ...>
Name : <input name="name" ...>
</form>

--- submit page ---

echo "Your name is : " . $_POST["name"] . "<BR />\n";

I've tried it, doesn't work 🙁
When variables are sent via GET (index.php?v=100) $_GET['v'] works. Only when I use POST I get this error.

Can't get it working, anybody who can help me?

Post your <form> tag.

It should look something like this;
<form action="<?PHP echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="30">
</form>

unless you are uploading a file in which case it should look like:
<form action="<?PHP echo "$PHP_SELF"; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="30">
</form>

Each of the above when submitted should result in the immediate assignment of a variable "$name" which has a value equal to that entered into the text field.

and excuse me if I'm apparently pitching at too low a level.

Is it possible that someone disabled the post method? Recently, a vulnerability has been discovered in php, and an admin may have disabled all posts.

My form looks something like this

<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="var">
<input type="submit">
</form>

It worked fine before i reinstalled w2k & apache/PHP...
