Passing variables from an html form to a php script, I had a problem with a variable named 'h2'.
It would not have the value from the form but would be a 'o' (lowercase o). After looking at my code multiple times I printed out the h2 variable using a script like this.

<?
PRINT "h1 = $h1<br>";
PRINT "h2 = $h2<br>";
PRINT "h3 = $h3<br><br>";
$h1 = 111;
$h2 = 222;
$h3 = 333;
PRINT "h1 = $h1<br>";
PRINT "h2 = $h2<br>";
PRINT "h3 = $h3<br>";
?>

output from above script
**************************************
h1 = 
h2 = o
h3 = 

h1 = 111
h2 = 222
h3 = 333

Note that h2 has a value that is not assigned. This is constant, it is always a 'o'.
Have noticed this on prior versions of PHP (4.0.6,???) that my hosting service has had installed.

Thanks
