Good news? I successfully installed the newer PHP files, from PHP.net. Yay! it let me set my smtp server during the setup, great news i hear you cry!
not so fast. Now, it doesn't automatically take the query varibles as their form element names (for example a text field named uname, is no longer accesable in the script as $uname) HELP! lol.

Quick update:
Issue resolved.

$split_on_and = explode("&", $HTTP_SERVER_VARS{'QUERY_STRING'});
for($i=0;$i<count($split_on_and);$i++)
{
$split_on_eq = explode(&quot;=&quot;, $split_on_and[$i]);
$$split_on_eq[0] = $split_on_eq[1];
}

drags the inputs from the query string, splits em at the & and then dumps the array into a for loop, thus producing for each of the solts, another split, spliting it at the and, and making the first half of the split, the varibale name, so for a querey string resembling &quot;uname=siber&password=mepassword&quot; (no, its not, lol) you would see:
$split_on_and[0] uname=siber
$split_on_and[1] password=mepassword
$split_on_eq[0] (first run of the for loop) uname
$split_on_eq[1] (first run of the for loop) siber
$uname siber
magic eh?
implimented from an old script i developed in perl and year or two ago.

you have to setup your php.ini that is in the c:\windows or c:\winnt

you must set the param register_globals to yes

Look, this is a security breach. i advise you to ask your ISP if the register_globals is set to yes or no.

if it is set to no, you must replace all the form vars by $_GET[varname] or $_POST[varname] deppending on the method of the form. Anikin
