Problems with $_POST command - PHP Setting?

[Courbois]

Hello,
My sitehost updated his systems and a PHP problem occured. I think it is a wrong option set, but they can't find it.
Many of my pages are called with a variable : page.php?PersonNr=012001
Normaly the variable $PersonNr gets automatically the vallue 012001. But that does not happen anymore.
I solved that in my source by adding the following lines:

$PATH_INFO = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],strlen($_SERVER['SCRI PT_NAME']), strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
if (isset($PATH_INFO)) { $vardata = explode('?', $PATH_INFO);
$vardata2= explode('=', $vardata[1]);
$$vardata2[0] = $vardata2[1]; }

This to create a variable with that vallue. Ok that works again (not the nice way).

But the same? problem happens with forms.

Leaving a form with  <Form action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">
should send all variables to the page again. I load the variables with:

$PersoonsNr=$_POST["PersoonsNr"];
$Naam=$_POST["Naam"];
$GeborenDag=$_POST["GeborenDag"];
etc.

But that does not work any more and i don't know how the find the vallues somewhere else.

They (siteprovider) think that they set something wrong while updating to a new server. But they are looking for a week now...

Who can help me?

This is caused by register globals no longer being ON by default. This is a security measure and should be left OFF.

You will however need to take a look at the newer [url=http://php.net/globals]globals[/url] and adjust your code accordingly.

Thank you for the info. It was that setting. I changed the code and it works fine.
