Your first consideration is that $HTTP_POST_VARS is probably no longer defined
in your PHP version
(you didn't state what the old version was). The new superglobal to use is
$_POST which is more
concise. If you want to minimize your code rewrite and search-replace is not
desired, you can do
something like:
$HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;
at the top of your program before you use any of the variables.
It is also sometimes helpful to print out a diagnostic with a display of the
form variables coming
in. I normally do this with:
printf("<fieldset><pre>%s</pre></fieldset>\n", print_r($_POST, true));
Since it is on one line, it is easily commented out when desired. You can
replace $_POST with
another variable you care to test. The fieldset tags draw a box around the
info and the pre tags
keep the spacing and newlines in the display with a monospace font. The
print_r() function will
use spaces and newlines so it is important to preserve this. The second
argument returns the
output through the function name so it can be inserted into the %s in the
printf() format
argument.
Hopefully, this will take care of one source of problems for you.
