RE: [PHP] passing variables to php script
Installed apache onto a win2K server, and have the html file php file in the same folder (Q:\ASTERISK\) on the Q: drive (which is just another drive in this same server). I opened the html file using IE 6.0. What I'm thinking is there may be an issue with some setting on the web server. The php statements I posted were the first few statements in the script, so apparently the script didn't see the variables, so I'll have to review the httpd.conf and php.ini files to find whatever settings is preventing the acctnum, year, and month from being passed to the php script. Thanks to all of you who posted comments for this problem ! I believe it will eventually come together.

No, Don't open the html file from the drive! If you have installed apache, you can open IE and go to http://localhost, this will show your web site running. If you put the files from Q:\ASTERISK in the folder where the website is, or you set this correctly in httpd.conf then it will show up fine. Now, if you update the form, and replace Q:\ASTERISK\callrecs.php with /callrecs.php, then it'll probably work fine.

What you should be doing is putting http://localhost/your-file.html in the IE address bar. What is your document-root?

David I think the error indicates that there is no acctnum,etc. set in your POST array.. but your syntax looks O.K... so, assuming the php code is in callrecs.php, I'm guessing you either have a redirect in there, or are not hitting the callrecs.php with the form data.
