Why do you need the ID? I never use that in my forms.

i think you have to use the ID parameter in the input tag in your HTML
Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="your name" id="name" /><br/> Age: <input type="text" name="age" value="your age" id="age" /><br/>
try that and see how it goes....

try $HTTP_POST_VARS maybe it is an older version of PHP

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?
