Folks I appreciate the answers received previously in relation to my 4,3 to 5.0 question regarding $_REQUEST $_POST etc..
Unfortunately I am still no further advanced on solving the problem. Clearly the value from the form is not being passed to the script in 5.x, but being very new to PHP and I am not sure why. Here are my two scripts which I created for testing purposes and which run fine under 4.3.x ##### SENDING SCRIPT #### 1.php <script language="php"> echo '<form method="POST" action="2.php">'; echo '<p>Input a Test Variable <input type="text" name="testvar" size="20"></p>'; echo '<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Button><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>'; echo '</form>'; </script> #### RECEIVING SCRIPT ### 2.php <script language="php"> $searchtype = $_POST['testvar']; echo $searchtype; </script> I still receive a error Notice: Undefined index: testvar in e:\WC5\http\cgi\2.php on line 3 PHP Notice: Undefined index: testvar in e:\WC5\http\cgi\2.php on line 3 Is there anything in the php.ini v5 file that maybe causing me problems.
