Variables exist, don't work

[Guest_imported]

Hi everyone, i'm having a really odd problem. I'm trying to write a simple registration script, and it's giving me all kinds of problems. i've finally got to the point where after the form is filled out, it will transfer to the database script, but the thing is, the variables don't get transferred, or so i thought. all i was getting in the table were null entries, with the user id(using the mysql AUTO_INCREMENT option) being the only working thing. But here's the wierd part, when i use a while stript along with $HTTP_POST_VARS it lists all the variables perfectly. what could be going wrong? i can't print the variables or anything, the only way i can tell they exist is by the while loop or using GET instead of 'post' for the form method. if anyone knows what could be going wrong, let me know. thanks.

Sounds to me like you have the "registar_globals" runtime configuration directive set to "off" in php.ini.

If you have a form tag with an input field named "foo", $foo will only be available if "registar_globals" is on. $HTTP_POST_VARS["foo"] will be.

Also, if you are running PHP 4.1.0 or newer, you should get in the habit of using $_POST rather than $HTTP_POST_VARS. The latter array will go away in a future version of PHP. ______________________________________________________________________
