Well this form *is* sending the data because there are no errors in your
code... Their has to be some minor little mistake somewhere that we
can't see in the code you gave us... look for typos, make sure the php
code *is* on test.php. Also, when getting the variables from the post,
try using $_REQUEST instead of $_POST, it may work. Try switching the
method on the form page to get and see of they show up in the URL. You
just gotta do some testing and rule out errors until you can pinpoint it.

Thanks for the input. However it does no good if the variables are empty,
which is my problem. The darn $_POST thing does not work at all
for me, and I am trying to find out why.

What's up David... This script *should* work... I don't see any errors,
but try this anyways. In your change your print command to this:
print("Hello, " . $name . "! You are " . $age . " years old!");
What those periods do is simply append them to each other, so in this
case, you have the string, then you're appending the variable, then
appending another string, then another variable, then the last string.
Instead of having it all bunched up.

I have this simple form file:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="your name" /><br/>
Age: <input type="text" name="age" value="your age" /><br/> <input
type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> </form>
</body>
</html>
Which passes (I wish!) data to this script:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'] ;
$age = $_POST['age'] ;
print("Hello, $name! You are $age years old!");
?>
It does not work unless I turn register_globals ON in the php.ini
file. The php documentation leads me to believe this script SHOULD work
with register_globals
OFF.
This a NEW instasllation of the Windows IIS Server also. Is there
perhaps some configuration on the WINDOWS SERVER that must be set for
general global data to be passed from a 'form' type page?
