Try echo $_POST['nameofthefield'];
If this works, it's to do with register_globals directive in your php.ini file. You can set it to on, which will solve your problem, or you can choose to be more secure, and write better scripts, by choosing to keep it off, as with the above line of code. Search the archives of this list for "regisiter globals" and "new global variables", because this has been discussed over and over and over and over.
