My html file contains:

<form action="http://localhost/genealogy/testitem.php" method=post>

<input type="text" name="mysubmission" size ="10" maxlength="3">

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

 

My php file contains:

<html>

<head>

  <title>MyPage</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>MyPage</h1>

<?php

  // create short variable names

  $mytitle=$HTTP_POST_VARS['mysubmission'];

echo $mytitle.'is my title';

?>

 

</body>

</html>

 

When I click the Submit button, the php page comes up with MyPage at the top and a line "is my title" on the second line, but there are no values passed to $mytitle.

 

It works fine if I ftp it to HostMonster.  Is there a configuration setting that I need to change?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
