Here is the original form which can not send back the parameter:

<form method="POST" name="search" ACTION="env.php3" >
    <div align="center"><center><table border="0">
        <tr><td>company name </td>
            <td><input type="text" size="25"
name="name"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr><td>city</td>
            <td><input type="text" size="25"
name="city"></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    </center></div><p><center><input type="submit"
name="submit" value="search"></
center></p>
</form>

PHP Variables will be:
Variable Value 
PHP_SELF /sheng_huo/she_ying/env.php3 

**********************************************
And here is the new form corrently processed by php3:
<form method="POST" name="search" ACTION="env.php3">
        company name
            <input type="text" size="25" name="name">
        city:
            <input type="text" size="25" name="city">
    <p><center><input type="submit" name="submit"
value="search"></center></p>

PHP Variables will be:

Variable Value 
PHP_SELF /sheng_huo/she_ying/env.php3 
HTTP_POST_VARS["name"] fgff 
HTTP_POST_VARS["city"] gfgffgf 
HTTP_POST_VARS["submit"] search 
======================================================
It seems that php3 can pass the form variable if there is a table in a form. Is it true or
is there any installation problem with my php3?
I will appreciate for your kind help

I don't really see what you are doing wrong, but PHP 
definitely doesn't care if there is a table in your form
or a form in your table, or whatever.  This cannot possibly
affect PHP.
