Hey there gang :-)

I need some help. I installed version 4.2.2 of php yesterday using Mark Liyanage's instructions in order to get gd working (so I can test a little online program I'm making for my office) and everything seemed to be going well. My phpinfo script worked well, my test pages worked. However, this morning, I tried a script that worked before the install yesterday and it now does not work. It was a page with a form that posted to to the same page using if (!$submit) ... etc. Now, instead of giving me my results upon hitting submit, the page essentially reloads as if nothing happened. I've even copied and pasted example scripts online with this structure and got the same result. Any ideas on what I can do?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Try putting the following in your httpd.conf file:

Code:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
  php_flag register_globals on
</IfModule>

This on by default in earlier versions of PHP, but is off by default in PHP 4.2.0 and later. With this flag turned on PHP will register the HTTP POST/GET parameters as globals. The other possibility is to use the $_COOKIE, $_GET, $_POST arrays (so a parameter 'submit' sent with a HTTP POST would be accessible through $_POST['submit']). They disabled it by default for increased security.
