The problem with it is it does not capture form variables.

E.g I have a form call form.php with form element named id, K and D. the form post these variables to form_post.php. in the form_post.php, I need the variables, id, K and D and try to refer to it as $id, $K and $D, but nothing works.

Thanks.

In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to
be off. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info.
We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary
part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.

Regarding PHP & IIS 5.1

If I set register_globals to On, PHP accepts form variables.
If not, it accepts : $HTTP_POST_VARS["UserName"] 

However, this only when I set PHP up using the php.exe file, which, to my knowledge, makes it an insecure CGI program.  Is it a security risk using that install method? If so, then how do I make PHP accept form input as an Isapi filter??
