not picking up variables

Anon

My PHP appears to be working fine in every way except it won't pick up variables sent from forms using both GET and POST. I've tried sending variables with ASP and it works fine. I'm using XP Pro. Any ideas?

Did you use $GET or $POST ?

Suppose you send the varible " name " with the POST method, you'll get it with $POST["name"]
If you send it with GET, $GET["name"]

If you use a version of PHP < 4.1.0, $POST and $GET, you can use $HTTP_POST_VARS (ex: $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]) or $HTTP_GET_VARS

Of course, be sure that "track_vars" in your configuration file is enabled.

I had problems with this too, but what I think he means is that the form post won't work.

If so, (if I remember correctly), you need to check your php.ini file and make sure that you magic quotes are set to "on" and not off. I'll check mine later and post my config tomorrow.

Magic quotes only add a \ before some special characters such as " and ' . The "track_vars" option is the option to enable to ensure form variables to be accessible.

I checked last night, and I was wrong.

You need to have the global_variables option set to "on".
