turn register globals ON on php.ini (they now default to off), then read the
1000's of threads about register globals, missing/empty form variables,
super global arrays, etc etc in the archives.
post vars are found in $_POST, session in $_SESSION, get in $_GET, etc etc

Hello List,
I'm putting a php app that has been off-line for about 18 months back
on-line. During my absence from php I had heard about some security issues,
so figured I'd try the latest 4.2.3 release.
Sessions and the DB are fine, but GET/POST vars are continually empty. I
mean a form
This is almost certainly due to the new superglobals arrays which are used in newer
versions of php.
in short, you will not be aqble to use the value 'name' from a posted form by simply
refering
to '$name', but should rather use '$_POST[name]'.See the php manual for more info.
To solve this
I recently have experienced the same thing in upgrading from 4.0.0 to
4.2.3
All variables are now stored globally and can only be retrieved using
$_POST['var'] or $_GET['var'] declarations
i.e.
$username = $_POST['username']; or get if your method was get in the
form.
