thttpd post problem

[Anon]

I just installed PHP 4.2.2 and thttpd 2.21. When I try to do a form post, no values seem to be passing.

For example:

PAGE1:

<form action="page2.php" method="post">
<input type=text name="something" value="stuff here"><p>
<input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>

PAGE2:

Value is: <?= $something ?>

Is there something special I need to do at installation to allow form posting? Thanks in advance.

try this:

<?= $_POST['something'] ?>

and RTFM

Ok.. Thank you so much for your help. I'll try that.

Assuming that this approach works for post data, how do I get to session data as well?

The net effect of my problem is that I can't seem to pass ANY form data to another page, and that includes POST data and sessions.

I'm open to work-arounds for both issues, but it would be better if I could just get the normal method of posting to work. That way I can deal with any other issues that might pop up. Is there a known fix for thttpd and PHP?

I am having the same problem on IIS 5 with Windows 2000 Pro. I need to get this set up for a classroom where php is going to be taught. This is the only instance I have set up where the only way I can get variables or cookies is to use $var = $HTTP_POST_VARS['somevar'],etc.

What is wrong with this setup that I just can't use the name/value as passed from the form?
