Moved a script into a drupal page - no longer works

[vincenz0h]

I've just started toying around with Drupal and tried moving a php script that I wrote into a drupal page.

 

When the script stands alone by itself it works fine, but when I put it into the drupal page it malfunctions at this point:

 

if (isset($_POST['form'])){		
var_dump($_POST['form']);
import_request_variables("p", "z");	
var_dump($zform);

 

when I dump the post variable, it returns the values that were sent via the form. But after I import it and try dumping the $zform variable  it returns NULL.

Figured it out. It had to do with the scope of the variable, I just solved it by getting ride of import_request_variables() and simply doing $zform=$_POST['form']

 

I guess that's what I get for simply using code that "works" without understanding what it's doing.
