ID: 9782 Updated by: torben Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Feedback Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Assigned To: Comments: As it says at the end of the mails you get from the Bug Database: ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email! To reply, use the web interface found at http://bugs.php.net/?id=9782&edit=2 So I'm including your reply here for posterity. Anyway, your problem appears to be related to scoping. PHP does not automatically include global variables within local function scope (as C does, for instance). You need to access it either by using a 'global $HTTP_POST_VARS;' statement or $GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'], since you're attempting to access it from inside a function (save_quote()). See http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php for more information.
