Register globals is no longer ON I believe. That is why it happened.
To fix this:
Foreach($_POST as $key => $value) ${$key} = $value;
That will convert all of your post variables to local variables.

> Hello All,

> After the upgrade, the variable "$foo" was not recognized

> My solution was to put if (isset($_POST["foo"]))
