Not passing variables

[paulsim]

Hi All

I have installed Apache / PHP / MySQL under Linux Red Hat 7.2.

Compiled it all - nd after a few trials got all working. PHP works - eg phpinfo() and also it handles variables eg echo $myvar. It also talks to MySQL OK, eg connects.

BUT - variables are not being passed. eg I have a login form that needs to pass user name and password for authentication. These are not showing up on the next page.

Similarly a hyperlink using something like
?myvar=$myvar (modified for PHP of course)does not give any sign of $myvar in the following page. I am using code and pages that work fine under Windows.

Something seems to be missing in PHP.

Anyone had this experience - or can you offer advice?

TKS

Paul

As pointed out in another post on this site, the register_globals in php.ini is set to 'Off' in PHP4. Setting it to 'On' worked for me. Hope this helps.
