$_POST not working in upgrade!! 1

[Sottini]

Hi Gang,

Whilst I'm ok with JavaScript and HTML, I'm new to PHP and I have the following problem:

I am developing on 2 machines using Win98, PHP 4.2.3 and Apache server....IT's here I believe the problem lies!
On one machine I am running Apache 1.3.26 and on the other I am running Apache 2.

Does anybody know a reason for $_POST to work on one m/c and not the other? The m/c with the older Apache version only accepts $HTTP_POST_VAR statements. I thought upgrading the PHP version would do the trick, but to no avail!

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Check PHP versions, make sure both have the newest (currently 4.2.3).

Older versions of PHP dont support $_POST and $_GET.

If that dont work you can always:
global $_POST, $_GET;
$_POST &= $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$_GET &= $HTTP_GET_VARS; --BB

Thanks a lot, I'll try it, although they are both running version 4.2.3 according to phpinfo()!

I've not found a reference to appoint globals yet, so thanks a lot!
