Thanks to Rafael and George (replied off list). Problem sorted. There is absolutely *nothing* to beat community support. Regards Martyn "Rafael Soares" <design_animation@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:php.windows-24894@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You probably have register_globals turned off (this is a question of security and performance). You can turn it on changing your php.ini file, it's probably located in C:\WINDOWS Or try this in the beginning of your PHP file: <?php $name = $_POST['name']; $surname = $_POST['surname']; ?> Rafael Soares - AgênciaM Fone: +55 11 4616-1394 -----Mensagem original----- De: Martyn Kinder [mailto:martyn@xxxxxxxxxx] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 5 de novembro de 2004 07:25 Para: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Assunto: POST/GET problem Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct group for this problem, so apologies if I have got this totally wrong. I have just installed PHP5 on a Windows XP machine with IIS (PWS). phpinfo() seems OK. However, when I try the following test script: name.html looks like: <html> <body> <center> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="name2.php"> <table> <tr> <th width="15%" nowrap><b>First Name</b></th> <td width="35%"><input type=text name = "name"></td> <th width="15%" nowrap><b>Last Name</b></th> <td width="35%"><input type=text name = "surname"></td> </tr> </table> <table> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit" NAME="Submit"> <INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Reset" NAME="Reset"> </table> </Form> </center> </body> </html> and name2.php looks like: <html> <body> <?php $surname=strtoupper($surname); ?> <?php echo("<h3>Hello"), $name, (" "), $surname, ("</h3>");?> </body> </html> When I run the name.html script: I get Notice: Undefined variable: surname in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\name2.php on line 5 Hello Notice: Undefined variable: name in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\name2.php on line 9 I think this works OK on PHP4 and Apache. I have looked through the FAQ's etc. But I'm not sure if this is an idiot fault or a configuration fault. Is there a requirement to declare variables in PHP5 now? Any suggestions please!
