This isn't working correctly. The fact that it 'works' is just a fluke.
I asked many posts earlier what version of PHP you was using, I don't seem to
have gotten an answer. But your subsequent posts seems to suggest that you're
using php < 4.1.1 and hence why $_POST['inp'] does not work.
php <= 4.0.6 used $HTTP_POST_VARS[] to hold the values which are the result
of a POST.
With php >= 4.1.1 $HTTP_POST_VARS[] has become $_POST[].
So if my assumption is correct in that you're using php < 4.1.1 then
echo ("$_POST '$inp'");
is in fact equivalent to:
echo (" '$inp'"); ## because $_POST is most likely undefined
That is why it seems to work, but you're getting an extra space and single
quotes around your value.
To really get it working, you should probably use:
echo ("$HTTP_POST_VARS[inp]");
