register_globals, an option in the php.ini file has been denegrated and will shortly no longer be supported in PHP. You can still turn it on (which should fix your problem); but, in future releases you will need to use variables such as $_POST['name'] to get your post variables. As a fix, at the top of your document you can do something like:
$name = $_POST['name']; //to set the $name variable OR $name = $REQUEST['name']; See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php for more information. --------------------- John Asendorf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Applications Developer http://www.lcounty.com - NEW FEATURES ADDED DAILY!
