Because you're passing the args through the Url (GET), not through a
POST request.

Hello,
I am working with a login page to use with an application that we are
planning to make available as a web service. The login.php page
itself works
correctly, however when I try and pass parameters to the login page
the are
not being recognized by the login.php page.
Here is the basic code that I am dealing with to attempt to the the
variables:
<?php
$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
echo $username;
?>
When I enter the url
http://localost/index.php?username=jasperadmin&password=******
Where localhost is the ip address of my server and ****** is the
password of
the user that is logging in, I am not having the username questioned
and the
login.php isacting as if I have not entered any parameters.
Why are the parameters not being accepted?
I am using php version 5.2.6 on a ubuntu linux box
Thank you
