What versions of PHP are/were you running? The newest versions install with
globals not automatically being registered by default as opposed to the
older versions that by default registered globals. Perhaps that is the
problem, that you have an older version on 98 where globals are
automatically registered so your POST variables are available but in the
newest version you've installed on XP doesn't do that by default.
Check the register_globals variable in your phpinfo() output. Is it on or
off?
