[Wylug-help] LAMP: form vars not passed to php script

[Gavin Harris]

Hi Andy,

Just a suggestion, how are you accessing the form variables?

If you are calling them just as $username and the like, then you might be
having a problem with the register_globals in php.ini now being defaulted
to 'off'. It really is best this way.

You'll need to do something like '$username =
$HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];' instead, or turn register_globals 'on'.
