script worked before server change

[ddeo]

Hi, I am new to this forum and I am a Php/MySQL novice.  I have searched this forum to similar issues but could not my paricular issue.  This may be because I don't know exactly what the problem is.

I just recently switched hosting providers and my scripts worked great on the old host.  Now that I have moved to the new server I am having some weird issues posting data to the data base.  I understand that there are diffierences in server configurations - eg: versions of PHP and MySQL, but my script is pretty basic.  Esentiall it uploads a file (no problem) and puts some data into a table.  But, only some of the data is written....

Here are the server configs:
Old Server: Apache/2.0.50 (FreeBSD)
PHP Version 4.3.10
MySQL 4.0.20

New server: Apache/1.3.36 (Unix)
PHP Version 4.4.4
MySQL client version: 4.1.10

The script below works except will not post the value for $pdf_title.  Everything else is posted.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Ddeo

Hi, I just figured it out.  The variable must look like this: {$_POST['pdf_file']}
