RonDahl Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 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.

trq Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Is there a configuration setting that I need to change? There is, but the problem is your using deprecated code. Use the $_POST array instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS.

RonDahl Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thank you very much. I could have SWORN that I tried that yesterday. Anyway, to my great delight, your suggestion worked perfectly today.
